I did a short ride with a friend in Vermont this summer (none of the gaps, just a casual ride). Seeing the destruction and knowing that some of the places we rode were probably washed out makes me incredibly sad. Vermonters in general take care of each other, and I have been glad to see how many people have joined together to do the best for their communities. Cycling is a stress-reliever, and losing that along with seeing the damage has to be disheartening. Hang in there!
