Description

Planning for a shorter ride this week with a sweet treat because it's gonna be a hot one this week and some ladies may still be a bit tired from some Prouty-related adventures.

We thought we'd swing by Sweetland Farm, which is planning a food festival from 2:00–6:30 pm on Tuesday (https://sweetlandfarmvt.com/events/), including pizza, sweet treats and ice cream. Sounds like a perfect regroup spot for a hot day!

So that everyone can be sure to get there with time to spare, we'll start promptly at 5:30 pm and head directly to Sweetland (up Rt 5 and 132), regrouping for a nice snack and a longer social stop than usual. Once everyone is ready, we'll continue up 132 before turning left on Stowell Rd, a cool, shady, dirt climb (it's long, but really the only climb on this route!), which brings us to the top of Norford Lake Rd and left to descend back to the cars on New Boston Rd.

Carrie will again lead a party pace group, and those ladies who don't feel like climbing could feasibly do an out-and-back on Rt 5 if they preferred (self-led).
