The Vermont 50 Mountain Bike or Ultra Run Takes Place This Weekend

Starting on Saturday, September 25, hundreds of mountain bikers and ultra runners will be visiting our neighboring towns. They're here to participate in the 28th Vermont 50, a benefit for Vermont Adaptive.

A lot of things about the race will be different this year because of COVID-19 but race organizers are trying to make the experience special while keeping it as safe as possible for participants, volunteers and the community.

The race course will be the same but when participants enter the aid station areas they will ALL be required to wear masks.

There will be no spectators at the race and participants are allowed ONLY ONE crew member this year. Also runners will not be allowed pacers. Reducing these numbers, reduces congestion at the aid stations.

The 50 mile race for mountain bikes begins at 6:10 a.m. and race waves go off until 6:25 a.m. on Sunday morning, September 26.


The 50 mile runners are next up starting at 6:30 p.m.

The 50 KM runners start at 8:00 a.m.
All races close at 6:30 p.m.

Good Luck to our area runners and mountain bikers

The Vermont 50 Mountain Bike Race and Ultra Run is excited to announce that they have partnered with the Vermont Dept of Health and will be hosting a COVID-19 vaccine clinic on race day, Sunday, September 26, 2021, from 12 pm until 4 pm.

They are happy to welcome un-vaccinated participants, crew members, and community members to pre-register so we make sure there are enough shots for everyone. 

At this time, they are not sure what vaccine will be used, so the state is pre-registering individuals 18 years and older.

If they learn in advance of what vaccine(s) will be used at the clinic they will update info on their website.

There is no charge for the vaccination and walk-ins will be accepted, but they ask that if you know in advance that you pre-register using this link –
(You don't need to be a Vermont resident to receive a vaccination-just register online)

Hartness Airport Hosts Flyers

Vermont Business Magazine writes: It’s easy to miss the fact that the second longest runway in Vermont is right there in Springfield (with a part in Weathersfield!) at Hartness State Airport.

Perhaps you’ve walked across the dam and seen some activity though the fence, but most people know
very little about Hartness Airport and its economic contribution to the region.

Even with limitations due to the ongoing pandemic, the summer of 2021 was busy at Hartness!

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Catamount Squadron was involved with two weeklong glider academies for youth and introduced over 25 teenagers to aviation.

The National Glider Flight Academies are sponsored by CAP National and the US Air Force, and are operated by the Northeast Region Civil Air Patrol.


For more information about Hartness State Airport, contact Brian Shepa at Springfield Aviation at 802-886-2647 or springfield.aviation@gmail.com

Town of Weathersfield


Compost Charge Starts Oct. 1 at Transfer Station
Vermont is the first state in the nation to enact a law that makes composting mandatory for everyone. In an effort to reduce the size of its landfills and curb the production of methane gas, Vermont declared that all residents are required to compost food scraps, which began on July 1, 2020. 

For the first year the Transfer Station accepted Food Scraps at no cost to conduct a study to determine how much composting will cost the Transfer Station. Effective October 1, 2021 the town will begin charging for Compost at the Transfer Station.

Windsor Southeast Supervisory Union

Dr. David Baker, Superintendent Update Welcome Back 


Proof of Vaccination: For students who are vaccine eligible (12 and up), if you have not provided your school nurse with proof of vaccination then please do so as soon as possible. We need to maintain complete student and staff records on vaccinations so that we can determine our percentage and begin to lift restrictions as we approach the 80% rate in each building. 

If you do not provide proof of vaccination, we will have to assume that your child is not vaccinated. The nurses tell me that the easiest way to provide proof is to simply Fax or Scan your card to them. 

We are also requiring that all visitors, including parents, have proof of vaccination if you have to enter for an appointment. Remember, all appointments have to be scheduled ahead of time with the school administrative assistant. If we can accomplish the business virtually, we would prefer that option for now.

School Nurses
Windsor: elizabeth.martens@wsesu.net
Weathersfield: estevens@wsesu.net
Albert Bridge: jchick@wsesu.net
Hartland: annette.jeinnings@wsesu.net

Masks: All persons need to wear a mask when entering the building or riding a bus. Weather permitting, schools will try to be outside with students as much as possible. There are no mask requirements outside as long as we can keep PODS separate and grade level separate.

Remember, masks need to be 2-ply if cloth and must sufficiently cover the nose and mouth. Our children did a great job with this last year. Remember, the mitigation for transmission goes in this order: first, if eligible, get a vaccine; second, stay home if you have symptoms; and third, wear a mask when indoors. Remember, our goal is to stay in person.


Concert Report

Todd Snider 
State Theatre, Portland Maine
Sept. 13, 2021

We traveled to Portland Maine last week to see Todd Snider perform at the State Theatre. We've been following Todd for years and love his interesting outlook on life.


During the pandemic, Todd hosted a Sunday morning "church service" for the First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder. He would play for an hour or so and tell stories that were always very entertaining.


The online shows weren't that much different from his life shows in content but to see him live with other like minded people is really a sight to see.

Before the show we walked around Portland and ended up at The King's Head for some great beer and a yummy lobster roll.

Todd Snider
The Egg Swyer Theatre
Albany, NY
September 15, 2021

We couldn't get enough of Todd so we went to see him on Wednesday in Albany at The Egg.  The setlist was really different and we we glad we hit both shows.


We had dinner before the show at The City Beer Hall. The food was good the beer was better.

Little did we know, during Happy Hour (s) for every beer you order you get a flatbread pizza slice. 

We were most impressed and will hit this place up again the next time we're in Albany for a show!

Johnny A
Lebanon Opera House
Lebanon NH
September 17, 2021

You may not know, but I'm the House Photographer at Lebanon Opera House and have been since 2009. It's my favorite of ALL MY GIGS!  Because I get to see some great musicians, like Johnny A, who I photographed Friday night.

When he plays it sound like he's playing with a pre-recorded track but in fact he using a very sophisticated looping techinque. You can read more if you are curious in GUITAR PLAYER. 

I knew he was a talented guitar player but he can also tell a great story. 


And he is a super nice guy. He played 90 minutes then hung out talking with audience members for another half hour.

John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band
Capitol Center for the Arts
Concord, NH
September 19, 2021

We drove to Concord NH on Sunday evening to see John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band. They are on the road promoting their new CD "Leftover Feelings."


I only had my cell phone and they requested no photos, videos or audio recordings so I held off snapping a few until the end of the show.

It was great seeing John Hiatt LIVE again...it's been too long.

Bike Report

Tour de Taste
A Benefit for Upper Valley Trails Alliance
Fairlee, VT
September 12, 2021

My girlfriend Michelle and I did the 31 mile loop of the Tour de Taste last week. The Tour de Taste is a fundraiser for Upper Valley Trails Alliance (UVTA).

We rented e-bikes from Hanover Adventure Tours (HAT) in Norwich. HAT donated 420 from every rental to UVTA! We had signed up for the 21 mile loop but with the e-bikes we decided to take on the full 31 miles.



Our first stop was to enjoy Cider Donuts for Lou's Bakery-they were sooo good.

At Cedar Circle farm, Carpenter and Main fed us s delicious vegetarian chili.

On the extra loop along River Road, we had some just picked corn.


Then we had "breakfast" made by Ariana's at The Lyme Inn. I'm talking herb scrambled eggs, maple bacon, maple sausage, orange juice, coffee...it was AWESOME.


To finish the ride HAT hosted a pizza stop then as her headed back the Elementary School in Farilee-we got two scoops of ice cream.

This was the best picnic I've been on in a LONG time, we just had to pedal (assist) to eat course!

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).

​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!
