The ride will have a guide and will be a no-drop, all-abilities ride. The route will also be available to all, and folks will have plenty of sections where they can challenge themselves if desired. ~40 miles/day.
There will be a gear/drink shuttle at the start to take any camping gear and beverages that you want to send ahead. It will not be driving with the riders but will meet us at the Inn, and return gear to the start.
$150/per person covers guided riding, music, gear shuttle, meals (dinner and breakfast), and camping. *Vegetarian and GF diets accommodated.

Pleasant Valley Voyager – There are 29- and 46-mile routes (M/S) that travel via Pleasant Valley Road into Jeffersonville. The short and long rides separate there and the short ride turns west to Cambridge. The long ride continues on Route 15 to Ithiel Falls and returns on Hogback road to 109 and eventually converges with the short ride. On a nice day, Pleasant Valley road rewards riders with gorgeous views of Mt. Mansfield and farm fields.
