Post ride shower and dry clothes Upon completion of the ride, cyclists can grab a cold beer and then pick up their bag that will have been delivered via truck from Boston. Hot showers are available, in limited numbers, for all riders at the brewery in Vermont. Party time...cold beer and barbeque After changing into some nice dry clothes, cyclists returning to Boston on the bus can check their bikes and bag of wet clothes and then go join the BBQ and beer party. The cost of the party is included in the fee for the ride. Any friends or family members meeting you in Vermont can also attend the party. Additional beer and meal tickets will be available on site. Bus back to Boston All cyclists, their gear and their bike will be transported back to the starting point (Harpoon Brewery) in Boston the same day. A truck will be taking the gear and bikes back and cyclists can jump on one the buses that will be making the 2-hour trip back. There will be 9 or more buses available leaving at various intervals between 5:00 and 6:30 PM. This leaves plenty of time to have a few beers and some great food before heading back. You may take your own transportation back to Boston. We will contact you closer to the date to get a better number for the buses. Staying in Vermont? Windsor is a small town rich with history, unspoiled scenery and also home to the longest covered bridge in the United States. It is a great place to spend the rest of the weekend if you are in no rush to get back home. Have family or friends meet you in Windsor as there are several campgrounds, hotels, B&B's and other great places to stay and do things nearby both in Windsor or in White River Junction, VT, which is about 12 miles north of the brewery. Anyone who wants to stay overnight in Vermont must make their own lodging arrangements as well as transportation home.
