1 Slopes & Trails November From the President Hi. As the colors are brightening and the weather changes from day to day, we are enjoying being outside as much as possible. Hope you are too. If you missed the October 4 th meeting you missed an interesting one. Mike and Anne Kruimer came from North Jersey to speak about the East Coast Greenway project, which spans 2,950 miles from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida. Last October Mike and Anne biked from Maine to Florida on a tandem, which they kindly had on view, as part of a publicity ride from start to finish. They showed a very interesting slide show of that trip., and had some interesting stories about the ride and some good maps and information about the project. The Greenway aims to connect all the major cities of the East Coast along a continuous, off-road path. Several years ago Anne was hit by a car and as a result is wheelchair bound but that hasn t stopped them from biking. Their tandem, nicknamed the K-Liner, has an angled chairlike seat for her in front and she does her share of pedaling with a hand crank. It s wonderful to see the joy and commitment these ambassadors of the East Coast Greenway Project have in their cause and in their sport. If you missed the program and would like more information, you can go to the Greenway website at Glenn Weisel reported that the work party is nearly full. We thank all of you who have volunteered to get the lodge in shape for the winter. Dan Aronson is pleased with the sign-ups for the ski trips and we signed up 3 new members who came to the meeting with Larry Taylor. Don t forget the hikes. The best way to kick leaves. We won t have the fashion show this year. Our meeting night change took us off the Wick s calendar but we hope to get back on for next year. As a popular alternative, Mel Stiles has agreed to do his Get Ready to Ski program. He says he would rather work out than model any day. We look forward to an active meeting on November 1, with everyone able to participate in the exercise and learn how to strengthen those ski muscles with our in-house fitness guru and ski instructor. Hope to see you there. Jack Schmader, President

Vermont Adventure text by Mel Stiles; photos Ed Sobelewski A Vermont adventure to remember and repeat that s what we had at Buck Ridge Ski Club s (BRSC) Woodbridge Lodge when two clubs got together to hike and bike the fresh air of the Green Mountains of southern Vermont. We combined the resources of the Lodge with the biking enthusiasm of the Delaware Valley Bicycle Club (DVBC) for a trip that included meeting and making new friends, road biking on mountain and valley roads, hiking and cocktails at a wilderness pond. Of course one of the activities was simply relaxing and moving at your own pace while enjoying the early fall colors that began on our weekend. We had a small group that represented both clubs well by participating in many of the different activities. Trip participants included; Loretta and Terry McGinn, Deborah and John Esposito, David Singer, Lewis Needle, Edward Sobolewski and Mel Stiles. (Continued on page 5)

5 Slopes & Trails Page 5 Vermont Adventure (Continued from page 4) up to the Lodge! Lewis had wanted to do the hike, and did get his chance on Monday before going home. Deborah and John Esposito, who were guests on our trip, decided to check out the activities at the Iron Hill event at Mount Snow on Saturday after their biking. They put a bid in during a charity event for lodging, dinner and other goodies package, and won! John, who is the President of Blue Ridge Ski Club (BRSC same initials as our club and a member of the Council) in the Allentown area, and his wife Debbie, had so much fun they joined our club! Wow, what a compliment! Early fall colors Please go to the following link at the DVBC website to see a picture story of our trip g2_page=2 and click on the picture titled: Album 2006 DVBC/ BRSC Vermont Adventure by Edward Sobolewski. After a great pasta dinner, graciously prepared by Terry and Loretta the night before, we awoke on Saturday morning to great weather. After a breakfast prepared by everybody, we started our first good biking day as a group. Everyone seemed anxious to do the winery tour so we all quickly agreed to that route with two different options. Some of us rode the distance from the lodge to the winery, where we met the rest of the group, and started the ride from Jackson into Massachusetts. We all enjoyed the ride, the beautiful riding weather and the town flea market and country fair at Colrain. We all enjoyed the wine tasting back in Jackson after the ride at the North River Winery. Some trip participants arrived as early as Wednesday night to start the long weekend off with everyone returning home by Monday evening. The weather cooperated for most of the weekend but started off with rain showers on Thursday and into Friday morning. Friday afternoon the sun came out and it was beautiful sunshine with moderate temperatures for the rest of the trip. Terry and Loretta did some sightseeing and ended up at Grout Pond to do some hiking. They hiked the pond loop which circles the Pond while enjoying the views and checking out the various picnic and tenting sites around the pond. They talked with the pond hut caretaker for some interesting info-bits. Ed and Mel also decided it would be better for hiking than biking because of the uncertain weather, so they decided to try the hike on the Stratton Trail. The hike started on the Appalachian Trail/Long Trail, from the trailhead on the Arlington Road to the fire tower on top of Stratton Mountain. During our hike up, the weather was very overcast with poor visibility. As we finished our lunch, the clouds started to part, and the view was exhilarating. As the highest point in southern Vermont, the top of the fire tower (at just under 4000 feet in elevation), offers views of central New England that are truly spectacular. Dave Singer came by way of Massachusetts to check out one of the bike routes and the North River Winery, which is part of the ride. Dave said he made a wrong turn and it took him longer than he expected -- but after experiencing the wine tasting first hand, I wonder if he was influenced along the way. Dave was very excited about the weekend because he had with him his brand new Trek Pilot road bike and couldn t wait to ride it. Lewis Needle started his riding with the 18 mile Handle Road loop ride. Unlike the 13 mile version this ride includes the climb back up to the Lodge along route 100, and therefore, is more challenging. Lewis arrived just in time for dinner, tired and sweaty, and remarked that it was a pretty good climb back Riding the backroads Saturday night most of us loaded up in John and Debbie s sports van and rode the 8 miles to Grout Pond to enjoy a wine and cheese happy hour in the peace and quiet of the wilderness. Sunday was another beautiful day with four of us riding the northern ski area route of about 60 miles traveling near Magic Mountain, Bromley and Stratton ski areas with Mount Snow in view near the end. Others went to the Iron Hill downhill mountain bike race, completed their cleaning at the lodge and headed for home. On Monday the rest of us cleaned up the lodge and headed for home. Two exceptions were Lewis, who finally did his Stratton hike, and Ed, who had an early morning ride. We hope to repeat this trip again next year. An earlier date of mid August is being suggested to try and avoid a more active biking time of mid September.
