Back to Vermont Weekend 

Join Kevin Martin for a weekend riding Vermont and the surrounding area. We’ll be staying at the Gray Ghost Inn in West Dover, home of Mount Snow. Since this will be my last ride of the season, due to a scheduled medical procedure right after Labor Day, I thought I’d close out my riding season by doing a weekend get together in Vermont.

The Gray Ghost has a limited number of rooms available Labor Day Weekend, so book your rooms right away if you’d like to attend. Meet us at the Gray Ghost Friday afternoon for a holiday weekend of riding and socializing.

Massachusetts COG'ers can meet Kevin on Friday 9/2 for lunch at Johnson’s Dairy on Rt-119 in Groton MA around 11:30 am, then join me on a group ride out to Vermont stopping at the Gray Ghost Inn for the afternoon check in. If the weather is clear, we’ll stop at the Hogback Mountain Overlook and Country Store on the way out. On a clear day, there’s a 100 mile view from the deck of the overlook.

Saturday after breakfast at the Gray Ghost, attendees can ride on their own or join a group ride on one of the suggested routes that will be made available for download before the event. The Ticonderoga Cable Ferry is up and running again, after being closed last year, and it’s a great way to either visit up-state NY from VT, or use it to return back into Vermont after riding into Lake George and Rt-9 North. More information on the Cable Ferry and fees can be found at; https://www.forttiferry.com/index.html

The Gray Ghost is a small but very motorcycle friendly Inn located on Route 100 North in West Dover Vermont. Room bookings can be made directly online through their website or call the toll free number provided. The Gray Ghost has single, double, and multiple rooms plus a suite with separate rooms and baths to accommodate group room sharing to reduce costs. So if you’re interested in room sharing, please coordinate with friends and call the Inn to make those arrangements. Information on the Gray Ghost Inn, available rooms, and fees can be found at; https://www.grayghostinn.com
