Vermont 17 Loop

Ride Captain: Lorna Moffre (518) 423-9808

Enjoy a scenic 180 mile ride through some of the most beautiful countryside in the Northeast.   We will depart the Great Escape Lodge at 8:45 am. From there we will travel Northeast through beautiful farm land and countryside crossing over the Vt. Border near Castleton.  The route takes us through quiet towns and gorgeous valleys. We will enjoy among the most spectacular vistas in this part of the Great Northeast! We will ride plenty of twists and turns as we make our way up and down sloping mountain roads and along several lakes and streams. We will be traveling along the Green Mountains and the Adirondack Mountains for much of the ride.  This is not a beginner ride but we will take our time enjoying the views and fresh mountain air.  We will have a short 15 minute rest stop once every hour or so to stretch, snack, refuel, freshen up, ect.   Deliciousness awaits us near the halfway point of our ride.  We will dine at the famous Bridge Diner in Addison VT. where we  have outdoor lunch reservations set for noon.  You can check out their website here  https://thebridgerestaurantvt.com/

After lunch we will begin our return trip to the GEL, crossing Lake Champlain to Crown Point, NY.  Our route will continue southerly  to Chestertown where we will enjoy our final break together before returning to the Great escape Lodge. 

The entire trip will last approximately 6 hours.
