VT Piedmont Populaire Update

A quick update about tomorrow’s VT 101k.  The forecast for tomorrow morning looks good, with partial sun possible, temps in the 50’s & rain showers hopefully holding off until mid-afternoon.  Certainly should be much better weather than we had on last year’s VT 100k!

There is one short section of dirt road along the course which is about 1 mile in length.  I just rode it & even with this morning’s rain it is in fairly good shape.  There is a very short section of small gravel, some small ruts & puddles.  The conditions of dirt roads can change day-to-day but it should be fine for tomorrow.  Again it’s very short & should be fine on any bike, with any size tire, just take it slow through any gravel.  The rest of the route is on paved roads.  It’s been a rough winter so there will be sections of rough pavement, with bumps, cracks & potholes possible.

Pre-registration is open for another hour or so.  Or you can show up tomorrow morning for day of event registration, just don’t forget to bring an extra $5 for the day of event surcharge.  Please note that parking is not available at the ride start.  Free on-street parking is located outside of the city center or the park & ride is nearby.  Look forward to hopefully seeing you on tomorrow’s ride!
