V-CC Vermont Weekend

Headquarters

Into the barn

Throw down some fresh hay, he's in for the night.


Sensory overload


Our hosts


Watch your plate, he's on the the make.


Hatching a plan to get that Hetchins?


Day Two begins





The bike jitney arrives.


Davis arrives.





At the Charlotte-Essex ferry, with the Adirondacks in the distance


1951 Dawes


The weather in NY looks good.


Looking back toward the Green Mountains


Back on the road in Essex, NY


The Adirondacks


Long hills, few gears


The view at the top


Dan, Glenn, and Carol note ominous crack emitted from nearby tree. Bob and Elton continue to talk bikes.


Unlike the last house we passed, the gnome on this porch is fully clothed.


First those on hub gears yield, later some on more modern gears will join in the sociable stroll.


1938 Hetchins Brilliant


1970s Mel Pinto (Urago) tandem and 1948 RRA


Thunder and lightning bring a hasty end to lunch.


1959 Mercian KoM and 1967 Hetchins Vade Mecum


The ladies were amused by this


Sometimes they do make 'em like they used to.





Fellow traveler


Day Three - swallow's eye view from the barn. 1898 Orient with shaft-drive, 1934 Raleigh RRA.

Burlington bike family

No New England Section run is complete without a path in the woods.



Mary leads the way to the Intervale, and my battery fades.
