My own tours are loaded, although not camping. However, I've also organized supported group tours for ~30 years, but this will be the last.

Please forward to anyone who might be interested - thanks, Charles

This trip had been full, but one rider of each gender has withdrawn. Note that a couple is welcome, but they will be sleeping in different rooms.

I just did a second scouting trip three weeks ago, and all routes/cues, lodging and breakfast & lunch locations are confirmed.


SVHV (Southern Vermont & Hudson Valley) Tour
August 12-17, 2012

This tour extends the previous SoVe tours into the Hudson Valley of New York State. We start in Brattleboro, VT, and ride the first day to Echo Lake Inn, a bit northwest of Ludlow. On Tuesday we cross the Green Mountains and then have some hilly riding to Poultney for lunch, but afterwards cross into NY State with lightly rolling roads in farm country. We spend two nights and a free day in Glens Falls, with many restaurants within a few blocks of our downtown hotel. Day rides on Wednesday head south to Saratoga Springs, and north to the upper Hudson River. Thursday we ride south along the Hudson, then turn east, crossing back into VT and staying at the wonderful Paradise Motor Inn in Bennington, again with restaurants in easy walking distance. Friday morning we climb the Green Mountains, but later have a fun 19 mile downhill which brings us almost to our start. Average daily mileage is about 65, with longer/hillier options usually available. The $685 tour fee includes five nights lodging (double occupancy), five breakfasts, four lunches, one dinner, two happy hours, quality maps, cue sheets and sag support. Maximum of 17 riders. This is a Rogue Riders Bike Club trip. Contact for info or to register. Leader: Charles Hansen Email: velotrain@yahoo.com H: (617) 949-9492

Time to live that dream of Bike Tour Piracy... these affluent supported tour grips are probably LOADED with rare spices and rum.
