Meanders et Beaux Villages

Highgate Elementary School
Address: 219 Gore Rd, Highgate Center, VT 05459, USA

Please pre-register for this ride here.

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.
