Bike Vermont

[firestar]

Most of the people on our trip were triathletes and were astounded by the climbs! And, they made fun of us for having winter gear... well, I didn't see anything funny about riding in shorts and no-wool socks in a drizzle when it's 40-55 out.
.

Aww, now, the locals get a giggle outta those in shorts!

Whatever you do, try to make it to the Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury, near Stowe. Happiest place on earth.

PS - I like your jersey, firestar

Thanks, jobob - I had to have it when I saw it! Yep - B&J in Waterbury is sensational!! My uncle used to run the Springfield, VT B&J plant - I grew up with PINTS in the freezer... chunky monkey, anyone?

So many riders out up here this weekend! Great to see!

Our tour started at the Ben and Jerry's plant! The tour was nothing astonishing in my book, but, hey, that's just me.
Firestar, we were the only New Englanders on the tour... so while not locals, definitely closer than the others. I remember having to muzzle my mouth while some of these people were espousing their political and religious ideas .
I actually like Vermont better in the winter!

I live in a resort town (ski resort) - so believe me, I hear you. Many of the skiiers are the same way.
I came up on a small group today when i was out for my ride. They were at my usual pit stop at a local gas/market that puts out picnic tables for the cyclists. It's clean green and shady - so nice! But this group was not very friendly. they were across the road at the ice cream place, I gave a brief wave as I came up to the intersection, they just stared at me -?- did not say hi or anything - so I stayed over on my side of the road. It's odd - i;ve not encountered that before.

I think I am the only person on the planet who does not like Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Too much stuff in it. The best ice cream comes from those dairies that make it on site, and Vermont has alot of those dairies. Just vanilla or chocolate, or occasionally chocolate chip. Or if you want a really good treat, just get the chocolate milk from the dairy. City slickers will actually believe you for a second when you tell them that it comes from brown cows. Just for a second, though.

There's a great dairy ice cream place near Lake Champlain right after you cross over from New York. Of course, I can't remember the name! I guess you'll have to try them all to see which one is the best.
