Details

Because of the "Strolling of the Heifers" event in downtown Brattleboro, we've made some adjustments to the ride route, as well as to the start finish location...AND you may get to see a few strolling heifers!!

Celebrate upcoming Gay Pride Month and join Scott and Dave from Frog Meadow for a 40-mile ride through the beautiful farmland & hills of Southern Vermont and Western Massachusetts and the Connecticut River Valley.

This ride is like riding through a real picture postcard, passing small family farms with dairy cows in their pastures and corn fields. The ride is moderately hilly, a total elevation change/climb of 820 feet.

I am curious, do we all wait together or are we on our own if we drop our speed? I've done bike events in the past so as long as I have a cue sheet I should be all set.

Hi Mike everyone starts off with a map of the ride, noting key turns, etc. we typically our rides with one of us doing sweep to ensure that nobody gets left behind and usually wait at certain spots so we can regroup. It's a fun ride and not at all competitive. We look forward to your joining us!

The map of the ride is posted with the trip description as well as here:

Do you know there's a huge event that weekend in Brattleboro? There is a Heifers parade on Saturday morning on Main Street. I do not know if this could alter the course or plans since it might be difficult with the crowd?

If anyone is interested, the OutRiders.org is seeking more riders and volunteers for their annual one day 126 mile Boston to Ptown ride on June 17. Deadline to register is June 5. Any questions hit me up, or go to website (above). While it's an LGBTQ sponsored ride, it is open to anyone.
