Vermont ride with Spyderlover friends
I just came off a week long vacation before returning to work today. Just too short! Anyhow, last Monday August 5th, I met up with Brian (bscrive) and his wife Deb who came down from Ottawa Ontario, through New York and into Vermont. We met up in Alburgh VT and headed to lunch at Warners Snack Bar in St.Albans Vermont. We enjoyed tasty burgers and fries there before heading over to Smugglers Notch in the Stowe area, then over to Waterbury and to Middlesex where we stopped for a break at the Red Hen Bakery. It was hard to keep Deb away from the chocolate section there :) Then we went to Moretown, where we went to meet up with Deanna. The four of us headed out to super at Sarducci's Restaurant in Montpelier. We had a nice meal and a time to relax over some good conversation. Brian and Deb headed to there hotel room for the night in South Barre and Me and Deanna turned in for the night.
The next day, Tuesday, Deanna wasn't able to join us because she had to work...:sour: Nevertheless we missed having her join us for the ride. I guided Brian and Deb on a scenic south eastern Vermont ride on Rte 14 south to Rte 4 and headed to the Quechee Gorge State Park. We enjoyed ourselves during our time there. We had lunch at the Public House diner. We took in the sights, checked out the shops in the strip mall and got to see a real cool toy museum. Deb wanted chocolate again so we just couldn't pass up the Ice cream stand!!!:ohyea:
It was time to head out on the Spyders, Brian had his Honda Valkyrie. We headed west on Rt4 through Killington and back to the Waitsfield area on Rt 100. We also went to Deanna's place so Brian and Deb could say there goodbye's. It was a fun day to be out on the roads with some wonderful scenery and decent roads! We hope to be able to do this again sometimes maybe in another region. These are some of the pictures that I took on the ride Tuesday.
