The Moose

We gather at Mike’s Tiki Bar at 8 am with a start at 8:30 am. We head north up Route 114 through Island Pond to Bloomfield, then up one of the most beautiful and serene stretches of the Connecticut River before heading back through Canaan, Norton and Island Pond and on to East Burke.

The Moose offers miles and miles of wide open riding, on some of the most “car hungry” roads in Vermont. This is not a sanctioned race. As a “timed event” you must stop at all stop signs and obey traffic lights. But, hey, there are only three stop signs in the entire 103 miles of riding. As for traffic lights – nadda, niente. And yes, you must yield to oncoming traffic at your left hand turns. But what’s this? There are only three of them in all 103 miles.
