Details
BASED ON GROUP CONCENSUS WE HAVE CHANGED THE RIDE DISTANCE FROM 35 MILES TO 45 MILES. ALL OTHER DETAIL REMAIN THE SAME, HOWEVER WE EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE RIDE BY 5PM NOT 4PM (AS STATED BELOW). Known by locals as the "Tri State Ride" because it goes through the states of Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, this ride is like riding through a real picture postcard. The ride is moderately hilly. Half way through the ride we will stop in Northfield, MA for snacks and ice cream.
Participants should be experienced cyclists and have road bikes, not hybrids or mountain bikes. We will be riding at a moderate pace of 14-15 mph. Maps will be provided at the beginning of the ride. We will meet in Brattleboro, depart at noon and expect to be done by 4:00.
Following the ride participants are invited and welcome to come to Frog Meadow B&B for a hot tub and dip in the pond (if it is sufficiently warm). BYOB & snacks!
Also noting that the rain date for the event is Sunday Sept 9

Husband Dave & I did a "dry run" of the ride yesterday and the roads are in excellent shape! Wondering what everyone's distance capabilities are, if all are interested we can easily add another 10 mi to the ride and make it a 45-er. Pls weigh in and if all are interested I will re-class/re-post the trip to reflect longer distance and we may pick up a few more guys.
A few s...Looks like a small (which is good!) group of 7 riders which sounds like fun....Weather trends for the weekend are positive...We have lodging availabilities at Frog Meadow both Fri & Sat night and DO NOT have a 2-night minimum stay requiremant....Following the ride all are invited and welcome to come to Frog Meadow B&B (15 min drive) for a hot tub and dip in the pond (Yes the pond is currently warm enough to enjoy). BYOB & snacks...Looking fwd to a fun day! -S&D
