A tour of pretty villages – a 60-mile (M/S) ride across the Canadian border. Bring your passport or other required customs document. Also, you must complete the ArriveCAN app information within 72 hrs of entry. See ArriveCAN website for full and most recent information: https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html). If you are denied access into Canada, you will need to return to the ride start on your own because the ride leader(s) will continue on with the group. We’ll stop in Mystic for food and pass many farms along the way. There is some dirt – about 4 miles total - and a couple of hills. A short version of the ride breaks off after Mystic and goes 45 miles.
Highgate Elementary School, I-89 north to exit 21 in Swanton, take 78 east to Highgate Center, then left on 207 North, Elementary School is on the left.

Three rides, all following the same route for the first 25 miles with a food stop in Bristol. The Metric Century is 62 miles (M) via Bristol and Vergennes. The full Century is 100 miles (S) traveling down to the Crown Point Bridge and returning through the Champlain Valley. Those looking for an extra challenge can do the Double Gap Century which is 113 miles and includes the Middlebury and Appalachian Gaps.
Brian Howard will serve as leader for the metric century (62 miles) and Kevin Batson will lead the United States customary units (a.k.a. USCI or Imperial) century (100 miles). Webmaster's editorial comment: tell me again why the US refuses to go fully metric like the rest of the world? The "US customary units century" just does not roll easily off the tongue.

There may be one or more groups and/or destinations.
