It was in Vermont during the late 60's and 70's where I would disappear to find the best roads and hill climbing this side of Europe. ( and for us living near the Vermont border a whole lot closer.) I spent many a mi le riding up and down the length of the state on Hwy 100 on a Torpado, a Bi anchi, an Atala and finally on my 82 Marinoni.
To add some CR content to the "Return of the Vermont 100/200 in June of 200 9" my plan is to return there and to ride it on my 1982 Purple Marinoni.
I hope to see lots of our CR Brethren there on their steel rigs too !
Safe cyling to all !
