The Vermont Tour of 2019

Starting October 17, 2019, my friend Daniel F. (Freeway) Drew and I will embark on a 500 mile circuit around the state of Vermont. Stay tuned for posts about preparations and posts as begin our sojourn.

The Lighthouse (half) Century ride in Morro Bay.

T-26 Vermont Ride

Tried out riding with the panniers for the first time today. Loaded up towels and some four pound weights in the bags. The bike is noticeably heavier, but still handles fine, although I was able to craft equal weight distribution with identical loads on each side.

T-7 before the Morro Bay ride!

Working up to my 50 mile ride in Morro Bay (T-09), put 30 miles in the saddle today.

T-29 Vermont

Just a quick out and back today.

T-30 Vermont

No activity the last few days. Time marches on. Found a bike shop fairly near the airport that may be willing to store our bike boxes while out on the trail.

Today is a rest day. Walked the dog a few miles. Preparation for tomorrow’s meeting with Dan to review accommodations and travel particulars.

Actually, couldn’t stay off the bike so pedaled a quick five mile jaunt to Castle Rock Park.
