CCRPC & VTrans Bike/Ped Webinar Return on Investment for Active Transportation

The economic benefits of walkable and bikeable communities are well documented. In addition to capital gains, investment in placemaking and active transportation yield intangible, societal benefits. This webinar takes a broad look at the wide spectrum of benefits to be gleaned when placing walking, biking, and placemaking at the forefront of community design.

Raid – Our definition? A raid is a challenging route that includes a significant amount of packed-gravel riding and some major climbing segments. Some would call it a dirt road randonee, others a gravel grinder, we just call it a Raid. This is not a race. A properly prepared rider and bike of most any type can do this. Our guarantee – you will finish tired but feeling accomplished. It’s probably not for everybody, but you’re not everybody, right?

The long route will be around 50 miles , mostly gravel and will include a staggering amount of climbing. Yeah, it’s hard. Not up for that? We do offer a sweet 25-mile option! Mostly self-supported along the way, riders are treated to a lunch buffet and cold beer at the finish.

Let's clarify one thing, IRR is most certainly not a "road ride". Not sure what we mean? Take a few minutes to enjoy this video of IRR 3.0.

Here's what you CAN expect:

• The start isn't really in Stowe, but somewhere in mid to central Vermont.
• IRR 8.0 will the most Irreverent IRR to date. Take that for what it is.
• It will be a long day on/with your bike. 
• The terrain will be challenging, to the fullest extent of the word.
• There are little to zero route markings.
• Planned water drops and aid stations may exist, but don't plan solely on them. 
  • Be prepared to go 3-4 hours between water sources, Vermont is graced with many general stores and remote gas stations. And friendly neighbors too.
• We welcome anyone that wants to attempt to finish IRR, you just have to do it on our terms.
• Believe the hype. It's not #hype.
• The longest it has ever taken someone to complete the route was 17.5 hours.
