VT Monster - 100 Miles of Gravel (?) in Stratton Vermont
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 11 měsíci
In rainy June of 2023, Steve traveled to Stratton to check out the VT Monster, a gravel ride featuring a new 100-mile route called the Titan. Hopes were high for a fun day in the saddle, but the weather did its best to intervene. Not every ride goes as planned; not every event features spectacular conditions. Nevertheless, there was lots of Type 2 fun to be had, and no shortage of challenge and...

    Is the section between Lowell and Albany traversable enough for an SUV? I see there are some parts that are not even really traversable for a bike haha, but would love to take a drive from Lowell to Albany via this road when I'm up that way in a couple of days if it's usable for a vehicle.

    Looks like a fun loop. My son and his riding buddy from UVM took me on a bunch of these roads and trails back in October. If you find yourself on this ride again stop at the barn/intersection at 8:13 in this video. The guys call this "silly echo barn." They stopped at this point on a ride one time and realized when they were talking there was an echo, hence their nickname for the spot.

    The staff at the Weston Volunteer Fire department really went above and beyond at that event. They were washing bikes, lending jackets and serving hot coffee and taking pictures. It is hard to believe a few weeks later the station was under 5 feet of water!

    Starting off a Gravel Hundo in the rain makes for a wonderful day in the saddle. Did the Wahoo ever come out of its coma? I've had the same issue in the past and it came back with all the data. Keep the rubberside down out there..

    That's a lot of water, I can't believe I ever got to see the bottom of it. I remember when there was cable cranes where there and seeing equipment moving about on the bottom. People used to come from miles around to look over the side just to see how deep it was.

What they also have in common are the communities of fellow riders, competitors, and fans that have come together to keep their memories and positive spirits alive to inspire new generations of riders. This is one reason why the biking community, in all of its forms and disciplines, is so incredibly special.
