NY-Montreal Trekkers Enjoyed Biking Northeastern Vermont

Our intrepid Trekkers were treated to a gorgeous ride on Friday over rolling green hillsides along Lake Champlain as they pedaled roughly 35 miles from Vergennes to Burlington, VT
where they paid a visit to the aptly named Old Spokes Home, a nonprofit bicycle shop and museum. After a scrumptious dinner of udon stir fry prepared by Adrian, Gabe, and Carter and a hurried smores session, the crew bunkered down in their tents as rain poured down. We awoke the following morning for a short and pleasant ride that featured two short ferry rides crossing from Vermont through the Champlain islands and back into New York. Leader Andy hosted the group at his spacious apartment in Plattsburgh on Saturday, where he whipped up some mango salsa over Caribbean black beans. Tomorrow the boys will be waking up early for an omelette cook-off to fuel up in advance their Canadian border crossing - Montreal, here we come!
