When Sat Sep 20 8:00am Sunset 6:51pm Where Billings Farm/Old River road parking, Woodstock, VT Route Woodstock-Brownsville 35.0 miles, 4,700 feet Leader Peter Burghardt Calendar iCal Download Description Let's enjoy a ride from Woodstock before the invasion of the leaf peepers... Woodstock - Brownsville (Ansel loop) | 35.1 mi Cycling Route on Strava 8AM start, Billings Farm/Old River Road parking lot https://maps.app.goo.gl/2NDfBHzYK4uTuZyc7 Current forecast is a brisk 44F at 8AM This is a slight edit of an Ansel Dickey route. Lots of climbing. :-) It's a flat start on Old River road to the Taftsville bridge. Up Happy Valley and Garvin Hill to Weed, and then onto the steeps of Cream Pot. That earns us the Densmore Hill descent to the Jenneville road. Up Silver Hill and down Cowshed Trail to Sheddsville road and Bible Hill. Over the East Rowe Hill Class 4 to the long rolling climb up Rush Meadow. Morgan Hill over the top, and down through South Woodstock where we climb again on Church Hill. It's a rolling paved descent back to Woodstock and the start. Pace will be relaxed -- the terrain is challenging enough. This is a no-drop ride. I'll ride sweep, so you won't be last. If you have to walk, I'll walk with you. All riders should have joined the Upper Valley Cycling Club and signed the waivers for 2025: https://www.bikereg.com/uvcc-membership Riders should have food & water, spare tube/repair kit, etc. There is a store on the route in South Woodstock.
