Hi,
I had registered for the TOSRV-EAST '89 this year but *won't* be able
to make it.
TOSRV-EAST is from June 23rd - 25th. It goes 107 miles along the
Vermont's scenic route 100 from RawsonVille to Waterbury on Saturday
and 107 miles back on Sunday.
This is thru the AYH (Americam Youth Hostel) but U don't have to be a
member of it. It is really cheap and costs $35.
I need a replacement for this trip.
Either send me mail at
flume::chetal
or
call me at DTN 381-0424
Thanks,
/Pradeep

| 1211.1 | quite a weekend! | ENGINE::PAULHUS | Chris @ MLO6B-2/T13 dtn 223-6871 | Tue Jun 20 1989 12:20 | 10 |
Some comments may be useful here: This is one of the premier
rides in New England. It is tough! Going out of Rawsonville, you
get warmed up and then hit Terrible Mountain. Really, that's it's
name! It's a long climb (for Easterners, not to bad if you are used
to the passes in the West) and steep. After Ludlow and some nice
riding you hit Killington Gap, another long climb, but not as steep.
After another nice section you hit the Duxbury hills, a series of
moderate climbs. Which brings you to the close of Saturday. Then,
on Sunday, you retrace your steps, doing Terrible Mountain at the
end of the ride. I quit at Ludlow. - Chris

| 1211.2 | Yeah, but it's so beautiful... | DASXPS::SCHULMAN | Wed Jun 21 1989 15:15 | 11 | |
Don't make it sound too formidable. It's all in how fast you take
it. This is one of my favorite rides of the year and the countryside
is incredibly beautiful, especially if you've been stuck in the Boston
area.
Must admit though, conquering Terrible Mountain at the 80 mile mark
on the second day creates a real sense of accomplishment.

| 1211.3 | Yes, I remember T.M. | BYCYCL::FISHER | Rdb/VMS Dinosaur | Thu Jun 22 1989 10:26 | 4 |
We started off the fourth, and last, day of Boston-Montreal-Boston
by climbing Terrible. It was all downhill from there.
