SUMMARY: Because of the "Strolling of the Heifers" event in downtown Brattleboro, we've made some adjustments to the ride route, as well as to the start finish location...AND you may get to see a few strolling heifers!! Celebrate upcoming Gay Pride Month and join Scott and Dave from Frog Meadow for a 40-mile ride through the beautiful farmland & hills of Southern Vermont and Western Massachusetts and the Connecticut River Valley. This ride is like riding through a real picture postcard, passing small family farms with dairy cows in their pastures and corn fields. The ride is moderately hilly, a total elevation change/climb of 820 feet.
