The 100/200 Returns!
The 100/200 is one of Vermont's classic rides, traditionally a 200+ mile border-to-border ride down scenic Rte. 100, done in a single day. We organized this ride six times in the 1980s and it was even recognized by Bicycling Magazine as one of the top six epic rides in the US. Though many folks have done this ride in other groups, or even alone, we feel that it's high time we blew the dust off our version of this classic.

/No t-shirts, no bands, no huge crowds of riders expected. Just a long, nice ride with good folks./
