    Dan Sturtz is working on a joint club overnight ride maybe 1 or 2 nights between FX Thunder H.O.G. & Syracuse H.O.G. to go the Kitzhof Inn in Dover, Vermont. Our club did this ride in 2020 and it was awesome. It’s a beautiful place tucked into the Green Mountains. They are bike friendly, offer breakfast have a bar etc. Dan is talking with Kitzhof but, we need to know if there is interest in going. Here is a link for you all to check it out to help you decide. KITZHOF INN

    The riding is awesome, we did the Green Mountain ride but there are many covered bridges, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream is about 120 miles north, There are also two Ride 365 50 rides 1 nations challenges we could do. 50 rides 1 nation for Vermont is Ben & Jerry’s Sign and Massachusetts is Mt Greylock. You can read more about them in your riders guide.

    Dan will talk more about this at upcoming meetings. I will say this that Kitzhof has limited space and we will get that number because in 2020 we had the whole place. Check it out and let us know. Also if you are bye yourself we could pair people with a roommate to share the cost.
