About this event
Join us for the Tour de Frog, an easy 15 mile ride through the West River Valley of Newfane and Brookline, Vt.
The ride is on a combination of dirt and lightly traveled paved roads along the West River and Grassy Brook of Newfane and Brookline. The terrain is mostly flat to rolling with one hilly section on (not surprisingly) Hill Road! The scenery is lush valley meadows with a mountainous backdrop and horse and alpaca farms as highlights.
Participants should have some experience cycling. Road bikes, hybrids and mountain bikes are welcome. We will be riding at an easy pace of 10-12 mph. Maps will be provided at the beginning of the ride. We will meet at the Newfane elementary School parking lot, depart at noon and expect to be done by 2:30.
Following the ride you are invited to Frog Meadow Farm for their5th Annual BBQ & Lawn Party to benefit AIDS Project of Southern VT’s Men’s Program, THE men’s event of the summer season! We expect to draw ~150 guys from near and far for a fun afternoon.
Gay Outdoors is proud to be the Lead Community Sponsor of this year’s BBQ/Benefit and has generously donated 4 Gold GO Memberships among the many raffle prizes. We hope to see you there! This is a great opportunity to connect with other GO members, spread the word about GO while supporting a worthy community cause!
Come and enjoy the lovely and secluded natural environment of Frog Meadow Farm’s 63 private acres, including the beautiful gardens, hiking trails and swimming pond (pack a towel!). This is a mostly clothed event. Nudity will be allowed for skinny dipping and sunning by the pond but otherwise this is a clothed event. There will be croquet, bocci, and other lawn games to enjoy! In addition, raffle tickets will be available the day of the event for all kinds of goodies!
Your suggested $35 donation includes a valuable door prize drawing and provides you with access to the grounds and a full barbecue meal (vegetarian option available). If you can contribute more than $35, or are unable to attend but would like to donate, you are encouraged to do so!
100% of the proceeds will benefit the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont's Men's Program! The Men's Program and The Aids Project of Southern Vermont provide prevention services as well as direct services to those whose lives are affected by HIV/AIDS. By providing education about HIV/AIDS the goal is to prevent its spread and promote understanding within the communities served. The Men's program has been an extremely important part of our local communities landscape for many years. Due to policy changes at the federal level the Men's Program's funding has been eliminated. We hope to salavage what we can of the program through this and other grass root efforts. Please help us help the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont and the Men's Program with their very important work.

Looking forward to another great BBQ, the weather will be in the mid 80's and should be PERFECT!
I'm not sure that all of you have RSVP'd or bought tickets online (I know Tom has) so if you’ve not already, please go to http://store.frogmeadow.com/ and pre-buy your ticket (preferred) or send me an RSVP email [scott @ frogmeadow.com] and we’ll have your names at the registration desk & have an accurate headcount for food.
Thanks & see you Saturday!
