It’s the ultimate overland adventure ride. Open dirt roads, amazing scenery and an epic course unlike any you’ve ever ridden before, all within a beautiful Vermont pastoral setting.
The purpose of this race is to promote the wonderful world of overland adventure riding and to benefit the Reading/West Windsor Food Shelf and Ascutney Outdoors, both integral organizations in the event’s host town of Reading/West Windsor.Race Info: Sunday, August 29th, 2021

Ascutney Discovery Trail Grand Opening
Sunday, September 5 at 1 p.m.
The Ascutney Discovery Trail is a 1-mile
interpretive trail that features 11 interpretive stations with interactive activities such as a 3D map, artist created benches, tree stump playground and chairlift swing.
The Trail introduces visitors to the natural
and cultural history of the mountain as they take in breathtaking views while walking through the forest
and over the ski slopes.
On Sunday, September 5 (Labor Day weekend), Ascutney Outdoors will cut the ribbon on this new
interpretive trail and offer a guided tour and light refreshments.
The event starts promptly at 1 pm at
the Ascutney Outdoors Center with a dedication followed by a trail walk. Join a guided group or walk
the trail on your own. Ascutney Discovery Trail markers will show you the way.
The Ascutney Discovery Trail (ADT) offers an entirely new experience for visitors on the mountain,
inviting and encouraging people to learn more about this special place in a fun and engaging way.
While
many come to Mount Ascutney to mountain bike or ski the challenging terrain, the ADT is designed as
an easy-entry experience that can be enjoyed in part or as a whole. For instance, a walk from the
Outdoors Center to the Valley Vista interpretive stop can be a whole trip, with this scenic picnic spot a
great option for families with small children.
The trail was designed with professional help from the National Park Service Rivers & Trails
Program and Murphy & Smith Interpretive Solutions. Trail planning brought many stakeholders
together to specifically envision a much better system of connecting trails and offering more entry-level
physical activities and education opportunities on the mountain.
Ascutney Outdoors volunteers put in a
tremendous amount of time to install all of the trail elements in order to provide the local match to the
grants secured for the project.
Join Ascutney Outdoors on September 5 to celebrate this new trail and explore the natural and cultural
history of this special place in our community.

Bike Report
Team TuTu Much Fun tries E-biking
My friends and I celebrated Chris's (far right) birthday on Friday with a bike ride and lunch. We all decided to rent e-bikes to see what all the bike buzz was about.
We rented with Hanover Adventure Tours (HAT) in Norwich, VT. I had previously ridden an Mountain 2 Sea e-bike from Woodstock Wheels-Luke is great if you live closer to Woodstock than Norwich. My three friends had never been on e-bikes. Curiosity and anticipation were running high.
First let me tell you, e-bikes are NOT mopeds, mini-bikes or small motorcycles. They are pedal-assist bikes.
You have to pedal if you want to keep moving forward. The motor "assists" your pedaling. You can turn the motor off completely and use it only for steep hills (you need to turn it on before the hill and you MUST keep pedaling up the hill or the engine cuts out and you could fall over.)
Basically you can get as much or as little workout as you want on one of these bikes. Riding an e-bike basically lets you double your usual bike ride-you can go longer and farther with pedal-assist.
For our ride, we picked a loop around Norwich (HAT has a bunch of mapped routes for you to try or you can venture out on your own). Our route took us along Route 5 into Norwich then onto Beaver Meadow Rd to Brag Hill; it was mostly gravel roads. The views were amazing (so were the houses up there!)
At the end of the almost 18 miles none of us was tired and we all had a blast. The 90 minute loop only used about two (2) clicks of our battery time-except Michelle-she said her battery was still full.

Hike Report
With the heat and humidity back with us creating daily thunder storm threats, the Hump Day Paddlers (myself, Jan, Kate and Cathy) decided we'd hike on Wednesday instead of paddling.
We met at the trailhead for Paradise Park on the County RD in Windsor VT. MAP
Ollie and Skylar, both very energetic dogs, accompanied us and really enjoyed jumping into the streams we passed along our hike.
Jan found this very interesting caterpillar. I had to submit it to iNaturalist to get the ID of yellow-necked caterpillar moth. Who knew?
Yellow-necked Caterpillar Moth
The mushrooms and fungi that were up in the woods was crazy. They were everywhere. The rain and the humid conditions are perfect for them.
Upright Coral Fungus
We stopped to admire this tree and how it continues to be healthy even with this unusual trunk/root system.
We also found the fairy door, part of Valley Quest (see below).

Windsor County Bike Routes
The Mount Ascutney Regional Commission is pleased to provide this guide to encourage residents and visitors to explore our region by bicycle. The guide provides both maps and narrative descriptions of 19 ideal cycling routes. All of the maps identify the towns and villages they pass through, so routes may be selected by location using the individual map panes or the area overview map.
Routes are identified by yellow or orange lines—solid lines denote paved routes while dashed lines denote unpaved routes.
Each route passes through multiple towns and villages, and while they may be started anywhere along the route, likely parking areas are denoted with a parking icon. Open circles on the route lines signify mile markers—simply count the number of circles on the route between your current location and your destination to calculate distance. Bike shops, food, ice cream, breweries and taverns, swimming holes, and covered bridges are all identified on the maps with corresponding icons. Areas with potentially steep grades and rail road crossings are also identified on the maps.
Turn-by-turn cue sheets, GPS tracks, and digital routes via Strava® are available on the 'The Routes' tab of this website for each route. You'll also find printable maps for each route (remember; there are plenty of areas along these rides where there is no cell service).

Bike shops, food, ice cream, breweries and taverns, swimming holes, and covered bridges are all identified on the maps with corresponding icons. Areas with potentially steep grades and rail road crossings are also identified on the maps.
The Routes
Go Questing!
Questing is a place-based education model of creating and exchanging treasure hunts in order to collect and share your community’s distinct natural and cultural heritage — your special places and stories.
Follow the clues to the treasure box.
Inside the treasure box, you will discover more information about the site, a rubber stamp, stamp pad, a sign-in field journal, and a pencil. Sign your name in the book, adding a few notes or a sketch from your walk, and collect an impression of the stamp as a memento of your journey. Then, carefully re-hide the box exactly where you found it.
If you plan to go on more than one quest, you may wish to create your own “passport book” or field journal into which you will collect your stamp impressions.
You may also wish to create your own personal stamp so that you can leave your mark in each quest’s logbook.
If you are using one of the quests found online, simply print out the clues and the map and take it along with you, otherwise bring your quest book.
Just like any outdoor activity, be prepared for changes in the weather! It is important to bring a good map. Also bring a compass, a water bottle, snacks, and wear comfortable shoes. It’s always a good idea to carry a first aid kit if you will be out in the woods.
Do consider bringing along a field guide to local plants and animals, binoculars and a hand lens for magnification, and your passport book/field journal and personal stamp.
Valley Quest is always looking volunteers to be box monitors and quest testers. Each quest treasure box is checked on a regular basis during the questing season by a volunteer box monitor. These generous, fun-loving people help keep the Valley Quest program alive and running smoothly. If you are interested in becoming a box monitor for a quest in your town, please let us know!

COVID-19 in Our Communities
VERMONT FORWARD
Vermont is Fully Open, however COVID-19 cases are on the rise.
Most COVID-19 Restrictions have been lifted.
(Masking and Physical Distancing are "Encouraged")
Just when we thought things would return to "NORMAL" we're back to wearing masks again. If only more people would "take one for the team" and get vaccinated we could probably, finally wash our masks and put them away.
Here are some of Vermont's numbers, and remember we are the highest vaccinated State in the Union...can you image what it's like in other states where the vaccination rates are extremely low.
COVID-19 HAS NOT Gone Away...
Delta variant Spread
