Vermont Trip Pictures
 

Hi Folks,

Here's the one shot we took yesterday - apparently, we were too engrossed in the driving to take more ;) . Hope to see some other photos posted soon!

That run up Equinox mountain was pretty thrilling -- yeeehah!

Charlie, thanks for all your efforts to set the trip up - we had a great time. Well done!

It was a real thrill! The trip made for a long, long day, but it was very rewarding. Thanks for coming out, everyone!

Classic Vermont

Lunch at the Equinox...

Lunch at the Equinox...more

Lunch at the Equinox...and more (actually I missed my table)

Not a bad view from our table, but here you can see it wasn't much of a "foliage" run...the leaves are about a week later than normal because of the warm autumn.

Lined up and ready for a breathtaking ride up the privately owned (no speed limits!) Equinox Mountain toll road...

A few of us shown here parked at the top (where's that windbreaker I forgot to bring!)

Awesome view from the top!

Another one...

Top of the toll road, looking down. Beautifully graded, banked switchbacks, fun to break the tires loose exiting the corners :D

A little more detail...

The view from that unstable steel bin...

View from the halfway area

Shameless vanity shot ;)

But all things come to an end...in this case a very long ride home--especially for our dedicated NY folks! This was our last pit stop as a group.

Great pics & a great drive :D !

Charlie, thanks for coordinating the event.

Enjoyed meeting the GBBG - when you want to do a Long Island run we'll set up the details .

Regards,

:cheers:
