I will be perusing this thread, and watching for some route ideas for that area.
Back in the first post of the following linked thread, Fred posted Dropbox links to the infamous NERDS rides

That should get you started for a bunch of great rides centered at Stowe.

Edit: If anyone is doing a trip from more southern areas to the (relatively) cooler north country, you may have an added bonus of taking in the total eclipse of the sun on the way home on August 21. The path of totality is about a Saddle Sore 1000 (1000 miles) away from Stowe. Have a look at the interactive map, below.

As of an hour ago there was still a king room left up for grabs.
As I read between the lines does mean you guys are in?Dave
We haven't missed one yet! We'll be in the early bird group again as Paul had the winning bid for the full week. And as last year, we left the king room on the table and went with two queens with the hope that our son and daughter-in-law might ride up and join us for a few days.

 
Nice! Should be a fun week.

Also, love your avatar, Gina. Looks like you had the Graybird in your kitchen for an oil change?

. Thanks for the reminder!

 
March bump. Just got around to booking today. Went with the full week also but still thinking about how I can work in using that free Parks Canada pass with this somehow.

You don't need a pass to go through Fundy Park for Sticky Buns. Give me a couple days's notice and I'll escort you ;)

 
What is a nerd anyway..... ? Do I need to bring my coke bottle glasses and a pocket protector ?

Booked, guess we will find out in August. See y'all then .

I do know some of you from CFR's.

It's not hard to sell Vermont in the fall to the S/O. I think it took 20 seconds....

Last King has been booked.

Yes to the pocket protector, coke bottle glasses are optional. A slide rule is also optional and only bring one if you know how to use it.

Yes to all of the above. But the answer to your question is in the very first sentence of the first post of this thread.

NERDS = North East Riders Doing Sh** (shtuff?)

 
I too have a slide rule and no I don't know how to use it.

That's pretty bad when my father was a stats and finance kind of guy.

My generation had calculators..... Thanks Geezer, If I remember right, you resemble my Pappy.

Thanks Fred apparently I also forgot how to read as well. Cheers.

The S/O asked, Appreciate the speedy reply. Hope we fit in...

 
Alright... It's just a little more than 4 months to the big event. Not too early to take a virtual head count, is it?

So who's in this year?

Josie and I are planning on going up on Monday and making a full week vacation of it. I know a couple of the other locals are planning to do likewise. As folks chime in I can add your name to a virtual guest list on the first post.

This thing has always been a great time in the past. I see no reason it won't be likewise this year!
