Please note: This expert may not be available for every date of this program.
Activity note: Lodge check-in available from 3:00 p.m. Remember to bring your nametag (sent previously).
Afternoon: Due to the remote location of this program, a scheduled complimentary shuttle is available from the airport in Burlington, VT, departing promptly at 3:30 p.m. Check-in time is 3:00-5:00 p.m. for those arriving independently. All levels of cyclists are welcome. Meet your hosts and fellow cyclists in the commodious Great Room with its fireplace and extensive library that provides a casual and comfortable spot for refreshments and lively conversation.
Dinner: At the Lodge in the open format kitchen and dining room. Enjoy high-end homestyle cooking with menus designed and prepared by our team of chefs. Bring your own alcoholic beverages if desired; alcohol is not served on site. In this age of fast cuisine, we think you’ll appreciate the effort that the dining team puts into their “from scratch” delicacies. Special dietary needs must be noted on the Participant Information Form. If you do not advise us of your requirements or special needs well in advance of your program, we may not be able to accommodate your requests once you arrive on the program.
Evening: Orientation: 7:30 p.m. The Group Leader will greet everyone and lead introductions. We will review the up-to-date program schedule, discuss roles and responsibilities, logistics, safety guidelines, emergency procedures, and answer questions. We'll cover riding technique and safety, and outline the ride choices (we choose from 20 ride options (choosing one for each day) ranging from fairly flat to fairly hilly). Afterwards, there will be a talk about Glen Sutton, the Eastern Townships and the general scene in this part of the world. Periods in the schedule designated as “Free time” and “At leisure” offer opportunities to do what you like and make your experience even more meaningful and memorable according to your personal preferences. The Group Leader will be happy to offer suggestions. Program activities, schedules, personnel, and indicated distances or times may change due to local circumstances/conditions. In the event of changes, we will alert you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding. Continue getting to know your fellow Road Scholars, settle in, and get a good night’s rest for the day ahead.
Activity note: Daily rides average 25 miles; some do more, some do less. People cycle at their own pace in small groups and may do more mileage depending upon ability.

Cycling routes, with modest inclines, are nearly completely paved, with some others on Rails-to-Trails conversions (crushed limestone).

Morning: We will gather on the porch for the Tour du Jour Map at 9:00 a.m. We’ll choose from 20 different day rides (we pick one of them for each riding day) and get underway at 9:15 a.m. People cycle at their own pace in small groups and may do different mileage depending upon ability. Sag wagon always on patrol. Rides are almost always on pavement (good shoulders, very low traffic densities) which often sees more bicycles than cars on any given day.
