Local Motion and Lake Champlain Bikeways invite you on a great weekend of cycling, socializing, and exploration – on the 2008 National Life Group VerMontreal Tour!
The enthusiasm for this fun ride keeps building, and interest has continued to grow from 36 riders the first year of the tour to just over 100 in 2007. This year, by adding a four-day tour option that splits the tour into two groups for the first leg of the ride, we are able to increase the size again to accommodate a new group of enthusiastic cyclists.
On Thursday, May 29th and Friday, May 30th, groups of 50 and 90 cyclists respectively will embark on a fully supported tour from South Hero to Montreal. Once in Montreal, riders will participate in the City's famous Tour De L'Ile along with 30,000 other cyclists. Fine hotel stays, full breakfasts, support vans, nightlife, and good company will make for a memorable weekend!
This adventure will offer public officials, community leaders and other interested cyclists the opportunity to explore existing and proposed bike routes in Vermont and Quebec. We will ride on the Champlain Bikeway and Quebec's Green Route while learning about Vermont trail developments such as the Island Line. Our northern neighbors have done a tremendous job in building trails and promoting healthy lifestyles. This tour will enable participants to experience the result of this work first hand.
We welcome all cyclists who feel confident that they can ride 65 miles in a day (the distance of the first day for both groups – for riders on the four-day tour other days will be 50-60 miles; for the three-day tour, 30-40). While the tour's pace will be varied among riders, it will have a leisurely spirit. The tour has sold out each of the last three years. If you want to join us on this wonderful adventure, please register promptly. Each interested participant should register by clicking the registration link to the left.
