Default June 14th. Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Tour. Vermont Joyride!!!!

This years Vermont scenic drive next Saturday... June
14th.

There will be two meeting spots set up. For Boston North we will be
meeting at the Hooksett, NH Rest Stop at 9:00am. Looking for a 9:15
departure.

For Western, MA and CT we will be meeting at the Quechee Gorge Visitors
Center in Quechee, VT at 10:30 for a 10:45/11:00am (Bio Break)
departure on the scenic drive.

We will follow Rte 12 to Rte 107 west to Rte 100 North. There is a nice
lunch Spot on Rte 107. We should be eating around 12 noon.

The Ride along Rte 100 will end at Ben n' Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in
Waterbury, VT. The scenic Drive is approximately 2 hours from Quechee to
Waterbury. Ben and Jerry's offers Factory Tours if your interested, if
you haven't done it it's worth the 3 dollars admission. If you have
done the tour you may decide to do it again to extend your rest time
before we break up and head for home.

It's a great ride, beautiful countryside. On Rte 100 we will be
traveling along a small river with hills and/or green mountains on each
side. Twisting Roads, dairy farms, light traffic and no speed traps.

This event is being lead by Jeff Torrey!!!!!!

Please email Jeff at...... jefftorrey@comcast.net

Oh yea!

I'm not missing this one. Rte 100 is one of the best roads in NE for a Viper. A long day, but well worth it.

Jeff, thanks for getting this one going again. We still talk about the first time you took us on this route.

Ok Joe I'm getting ready for Saturday.

There will be two meeting spots set up. For Boston North we will be
meeting at the Hooksett, NH Rest Stop *** RTE 93 North*** at 9:00am. Looking for a 9:15
departure.

If you need more time at the Rest Stop get there early (last bathroom stop in NH).

Please arrive with a healthy supply of fuel in your tank. Not like me on the way to Tatortoga ...Vipers run out of gas at E.

I missed last weekend because of a wedding (although I made up for the wine tasting at the bar) and this weekend I have previous commitments and cannot make it. Let me say that Anne and I have done that ride up route 100 to Stowe every year for the last ten years and it is absolutely georgeous. I am really disapointed that I will not be able to make this one. It is a beautifull ride and I don't believe anyone that goes will be disapointed I hope you all have a great time.

Hey Pete,
If these previous commitments you have are at another bar I am with you, I was told the wine tasting was just to drink and spit it out, but just couldn't do that.
From wine to ice cream I guess, Now they want me to eat ice cream and drive my Viper but I might have to spit it out also.
I WILL NOT.

Heck- I even promise (sorry Joe) to observe the speed limit signs from Hooksett up to Quechee, VT. You see last time I led the charge I was scolded twice for driving to fast.

But the gentleman in the RT10 in back of me was driving without his Top and I could see the rain showers approching from my left hand side. So I was just trying to help a fella out.

So if your worried about keep pace, I assure you it won't be so bad.
