Modern Vespa

The weather here in VT was spectacular on Sunday after the storms on Saturday which broke the high heat and humidity. Since I was left to mine own devices (wife away), I decided to go on a nice long ride. Now this most likely is not a long for most people, but being a relative newcomer to scooters, was for me. Plus I was able to ride my ride and not have to be concerned with the rider usually behind me (wife).

So, I consulted the gazetteer but pretty much knew where I wanted to go. Pretty straight forward, RT 4 from Rutland, to Scenic RT 100 to Morrisville, RT 12 to Woodstock, then RT 4 home. About 200 miles.

Packed a picnic lunch which I ate at my planned stop at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, hence the title of this post. It was a glorious ride with lots of scenery. I also am trying an app that was shown to me at AV2019 called Relive. Since pics can be included in it, I tried to stop and take pics. I need practice at that and also need to work on editing in Relive.

This was the main falls where the Moto Guzzi was. Chatted with owner

Played chess at Trapp Lodge with this guy and won

Stopped at Long Trail brewing, bought this. Hope it is not foreshadowing.

Nice report.

Now you need to know we'll be expecting more from you....

My daughter lives near Bennington, though not near LongTrail, I love their stuff.....

The Over The Handlebars is only available for sale at the brewery. Worth a ride if you visit her or does she ride also?

Wow !!
If that's your first attempt at a ride report , you sir are "Da Man"

Kind of reminds me of the routing they show daily on the Tour de France.

Did you pass anybody?

I did two cars!!!!

Cool pics! Try any blueberry beer that day?

Thanks, no I did not try any blueberry beer. I have not been a fan of fruit flavored beers but may have to try it again.

I never even knew it existed till a few years ago. I rode from RI to Sebago Lake and back stopping at places along the way for it. Wish I could find a west coast supplier

Sadly yes, you just reminded me...😢
Daughter doesn’t ride much if any anymore...
