After a couple of years riding solo, a friend of a friend introduced me to a another lady with a Vespa. We've quickly become friends, and are having so much fun riding around and exploring southern Vermont.

Beautiful photos. You guys should venture down to Albany sometime and ride with us. Scooterwitch has talked about riding back to New Hampshire which is something I'd love to do also.

Route 9 terrifies me! I've avoided it to date, even though I live on one end.

Our longest ride to date was from Brattleboro to Northampton, Ma, which is around 90 miles round trip. We are planning a trip from Bratt to Woodstock on Aug. 7th which we are really excited about. There are a lot of lovely roads around here, but lots of them lead to dirt!

What a lovely pair of scoots, and what a lovely set of pictures! I particularly like the 'Santa Land' one with the matching colours - you should use that as your Christmas card

Man missed you two by a couple of days. I would have definitely ridden down from Maine to ride with you. How are the road surfaces in Vermont? Kinda rough on some of the roads I road last week in western maine and northern nh.

The roads are just as bad here - if not worse. There are still a lot of really rough spots from Irene, and just typical New England potholes, frost heaved and cracked roads.

We would love to have other people to ride with (if anyone is in the SoVt area), but I'm not going to lie - we can be a little slow and we like to stop for fancy coffee .

That's ok. I'll wait for you at each coffee shop.

There's nothing wrong with going slow and enjoying fancy coffee. I tend to ride way to fast a lot of the time. Going slower you get more out of the ride, getting to enjoy the scenery and everything else around you instead of everything going by you as a blur.
