Cost: $565 PPDO

The Landgrove Inn, set in the gorgeous countryside between Manchester and South Londonderry, will be our home away from home once again, for the 20th year. The Landgrove has changed hands, and we will certainly miss Tom, our friend and former innkeeper. But the new owners, Bruce and Emily (along with their children and two dogs), are looking forward to welcoming us for our 20^th year at the Inn. The Inn has charming rooms (all with private bath), large and comfortable common areas, storage for bikes, beautiful grounds, outdoor pool, pickle ball courts, and a lovely dining room. You will see several upgrades at the Inn, and many of the same staff. We have reserved the entire Inn with space for 30. https://www.thelandgrove.com/

Cycling routes: We’ll revisit our gorgeous and well-liked cycling routes in the surrounding area, and there will also be time to kick back and relax in the peaceful undeveloped surroundings of the Inn. It is Vermont, so don’t expect flat riding, but the routes are crafted for all levels (C*/B/B*/A) - some shorter and very manageable; others longer and more challenging; and many in between. Different cycling options will be offered each day including Friday, and we’ll organize into groups each morning at breakfast. The Inn is set on a dirt road, so the ride starts will be remote, but well worth the drive. GPS routes will be provided before the tour. 

What’s Included: 4 days of cycling options, 3 nights lodging, 3 full breakfasts, two 3-course dinners with menu choices (Saturday and Sunday evenings), cocktail hours each evening. Friday dinner is on your own, or you may choose to dine at the Inn.

Non-Cycling Activities: There are also lots of non-cycling things to do in the area, like hiking (Hapgood Pond and the Catamount Trail are nearby), canoeing, kayaking, quarry swimming In Manchester, and the Bromley Mountain alpine slide. Shop farmer’s markets in Manchester and Londonderry, craft and antiques shops, outlets and art galleries. Check out museums (Southern Vermont Arts Center is a favorite), historic sites such as Hildene, and quaint towns, like Weston with the Vermont Country Store.

Note: No TVs or phones in the rooms. Wifi has improved, but there is still virtually no cell service. You can use the Inn’s phone for short calls.
