    Thumbs up Vernon Vt to Vernon CT

    Joining this thread late but caught it as I was searching for another.. Thought I'd offer the following, since you'll be in the area anyway...

    If you're considering touring NE, you might want to consider joining the 07 V2V ride, and as a bonus, the event benefits Habitat for Humanity. The ride starts in Vernon VT and ends in Vernon CT, date is 9/16.

    Clothing and such

    I live in VT and could probably offer a little help here. The truth is you need something for any condition. Mornings will be cold and afternoons can get hot expect the temperature to change as much as 30ยบ. You'll be in the Burlington area so the changes may not be as vast because your by Lake Champlain. Having said that you will be in a place where there is a night life. Burlington is a college town, but in VT it's not cool to overdress. Think Ibex or LLBean, Keens are perfect. I recently was in one of our LBS and saw a t-shirt you may want to keep in mind.

    Biking in VT 75% Uphill, 25% Headwind

    Happy Riding!

    Maybe because I am close to the subject (I have a farm), I highly recommend alpaca for socks and sweaters and caps. It's hypo-allergenic, lightweight, not scratchy (lower micron than merino) and is warm but breathes.

    Here's a link to sportswear made from alpaca (not related to my farm so not an ad.)

    Although the products can be pricey, I can personally vouch for their sweaters and the socks - especially the copper crew. Wicked warm.
