Dirty DOGS VT Kingdom Trails Weekend Blast 2011
Thursday
Jun. 30
to
Monday
Jul. 4 Join TeamBreeze and have a BLAST this 4th Of July weekend exploring the Kingdom Trails in VT. We are co-hosting this event with Joe & Dawn (single bikers) and their Picatinny Mountain Bike Group. Come camp/lodge with us, but if you don't want to brave the big outdoors, get yourself an RV at the campground and enjoy the camping experience with us! We just reserved the RV rental Site #MO480 to share with Jay & Amy on the edge of the pop-up & tent sites. Sites are going fast since it is a holiday weekend. We hear the tent sites should be available up until very near the weekend, but the smaller pop-up camper sites are slim pickings. There are more big RV sites if you have one or want pop-up near them! It looks like a nice place with a pool, hot showers, flush toilets, and electricity at the campsite. They have 2 of 4 RV rentals available that sleep 8 and cost $119/night. Come early, stay late or even only stay part of the long weekend, spend some days exploring the area off the bike, we'd love to have you join us either way.
Specific details to be sent to participants before Thursday, June 30^th.
There are also B&B's as well as hotels/motels in the area for those of you not interested in camping. Check out the Kingdom Trails link: <http://www.kingdomtrails.com/> under "Area Info" in order to get additional lodging information or ask us what we've found in the area.
Time Thursday: 3PM, Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday: 10 AM (times are approximate)
Location TRAILS: Kingdom Trails in East Burke, VT <http://www.kingdomtrails.com>.
Trails Day Passes: on their website under "Rates" is $10 / day & includes a map.
MAPS: their highly detailed & accurate maps are free with a paid day pass or $3 if you want one mailed to you.
LODGING: Sugar Ridge RV Park & Campground in Danville, VT (about 30 minutes south of the trails) <http://www.sugarridgervpark.com>.
Distance 0 to 100 miles of Trails at Kingdom Trails.
Terrain We hear by a few friends, some single bikes and some tandemnists, that the trails are highly recommended. The trails have lots of smooth, flowy singletrack - 100 miles of it !! The views are impressive, and there aren't a lot of rocks or log crossings. It is like Allegripis (Lake Raystown, PA) and White Clay (Delaware), except more vertical.
Refreshments MEALS: Your choice: BYO, or off-site dining choices. We will have a group dinner out on Saturday and a Campsite Bring-a-Dish dinner on Sunday.
Host Larry & Brenda Isherwood / Your DIRTY Hosts :-)
