Vermont Overland 2010 Day Trip List note new day trips below
VO Day Trips are funfilled 4-6 hour trips covering light and scenic terrain. Definitely stock vehicle friendly. Here's how it works: Review the trip list below and decide which event(s) you'd like to attend. Hit the BOOK TRIP link to go to the registration page on bikereg.com and follow the directions to register for your event, or, better yet, register for them all by buying a season pass! Prior to the event, we'll send you a confirmation email with all up to the minute event information and instructions. On trip day, we'll meet at a specific Vermont location, do a quick vehicle check and then venture off on a point to point network of Vermont Class 3 (maintained) and Class 4 (unmaintained) roads of unparalleled scenic beauty. We'll make several stops at key locations to get out, take a short hike and stretch our legs (as well as the dogs'), take some pictures and eat some lunch. After lunch, we'll provide our signature espresso and home-made cookies and then we'll continue on our journey culminating at a charming Vermont tavern marking the end of the outing. Of course, all are encouraged to stop in the tavern for a quick post-outing celebration before setting GPS' for home. While lunch is not included in the outing, we'll provide extra water and, of course, the expresso and cookies!
We'll start most trips at 10:30 am, so there's time to drive up the morning of, or better yet, make a weekend of it by doing our day trip one day and a custom outing the next! Most VO day trips start in or near Woodstock, VT, so be sure to look there for accommodations if you need them.
Please note that there is an eight-vehicle limit to
our day trips so please sign up early using the link below!
Mode of communication for all VO trips is CB radio. If you don't have one
already, no problem, we can rent you a handheld for a nominal charge (see
sign-up page for details).
Once you've registered, look for our email updates with particular
information as the trip date approaches.
If you have any questions whatsoever about anything VO related, please feel
free to contact our main guides, Peter Vollers
pvollers@vermontoverland.com or Jamil Abbasy
jabbasy@vermontoverland.com.

We’ll meet in historic Woodstock village and follow an almost endless
succession of amazing Class 4 roads all the way down to even more historic
Chester village. The highlight of the trip will be a step trail located
immediately beside a gorgeous waterfall. When we get
down to Chester, we’ll stop in at the Bradford Tavern for our usual post-run
drinks and snacks celebration.

Quest for Willey’s
Saturday, July 24, 2010
We’ll start way up north not far from the Canadian border and do a series of
challenging Class 4 roads, all with one breathtaking view after another,
winding our way down to Greensboro to grab some refreshments at the old
Willey’s store and then take a swim in the fabulous Caspian Lake. If you
want to see how Vermont looked 50 years ago, this is the trip for you!

Lover's Lament
Sunday, August 8, 2010
We'll do some lovely wooded trails loaded with ancient cellar holes and even
take a short hike to a rock located in the middle of the woods on which
Steven P. Truesdale inscribed the following poem before hanging himself on
the spot: "What sad scenes the bosom pain, what eye from weeping can
refrain."

Holy Foliage!
Saturday, September 25, 2010
What better way to see Vermont’s most prized asset, its fall foliage, than
to view it from the untrammeled back country in your expedition rig. VO has
gone to great lengths to find a series of Class 4 roads that incorporate
some of the finest views in all of New England, so come prepared to be awe
inspired!

Autumn Jaunt
Saturday, October 9, 2010
Most of the leaves have fallen and you can see clear through the woods.
You can smell the faint smell of smoke from fireplaces and woodstoves.
Winter's coming and this is the perfect time of year to go overlanding in
Vermont!

Turkey Trot
Saturday, November 27, 2010
Let’s get out in the cold and maybe even a bit of snow and burn off our
Thanksgiving dinners on this epic journey. This run will take us through the
northwest part of the state and meander right around famous Mt. Mansfield.
We’ll end the day at a fabulous old inn with the finest array of hand-drawn
bitters and single malt scotches offered in Vermont! $95/vehicle
book trip
Please note the following
1) Bikereg fees as well as 6% VT sales tax will
be added to your order at checkout.
2) Each event has a three vehicle minimum (so
get your friends to go!) and an ten vehicle maximum (so sign up early!).
3) If the event does not achieve the three truck
minimum pre-registration, it may still go forth as a custom VO outing if the
registered participants are willing, but custom pricing would apply.
4) Due to the ten vehicle maximum with our day
outings, we're afraid that we
can offer no refunds for these trips.
5) VO DAY-TRIP VEHICLE BREAKDOWN POLICY:
Vermont Overland is pleased to announce that Rodney Brooks, Owner of
Performance Unlimited (www.performanceunlim.com) in Woodstock, VT, will be
attending all VO day trips, not only to help us guide and spot, but also to
handle any vehicle issues that may arise en route. If there's a
problem with any of the vehicles, Rodney will assess the situation and
attempt to make a field repair. If the problem is too serious to make
a repair in 1/2 hour, Rodney will stay with the disabled vehicle and its
owner and continue to make the repair after the rest of the participants
have continued on with the trip. If the repair cannot be made in the
field, Rodney will use his own vehicle to recover (tow) the disabled vehicle
off the trail and to a point where it can be trailered back to his shop.
Once off the trail, Rodney will fetch his truck and trailer, retrieve the
disabled vehicle and deliver it to his shop in Woodstock where it can either
be repaired or shipped to a repair location chosen by the owner.
Rodney will be charging for his services, if needed, at his usual shop
rates.
