08/21Fri1:00pmNA/NA/0/0Special EventBob Warren1538 - Bob's Vermont Adventure0

This is a weekend trip from 8/21 to 8/24/2026.  Lodging is at Ramapo Ski Lodge at Mad River Glen.

Sign-Up for Vermont Biking 3-Day Weekend – August 21-24
This is a 3-day biking weekend in the flat section of North-Central Vermont. We will stay at the
Ramapo Ski Lodge (ramaposkiclub.org) next to the Mad River Ski Area which is on the eastern
side of the Appalachian gap off Route 17 in Vermont. The plan is to ride Saturday, Sunday and
Monday morning, returning home Monday afternoon (to avoid the New York Thruway Sunday
night traffic). Though the lodge can accommodate 40 people, the weekend is limited to 20
people maximum to avoid lodge congestion. So, please sign up early so I can monitor this limit.
Car pooling is encouraged.
The rides are rated as D+/C and include stopping at waterfalls, Vergennes day festival, Lake
Champlain museum, Morgan Horse farm, Breweries/Wineries, Ice Creameries, etc. along the
routes. On hot days, local swim areas will be visited after the rides. Also, the stay is quite
inexpensive as the lodge is just $35 per night per person ($105 for 3 days or $70 for 2 day
option). Meals can be prepared at the ski lodge and the nearby Mad River Base Lodge offers
dinners. Participants must send a check to me made out to me at my address below and I will
send a combined group check to the ski club treasurer for the group reservation. Note that I
must receive all checks by August 17 as the ski club requires payment in advance from a
member.
