DOGS Droppings

This page comprises various items emailed to the webmaster that might be of interest to DOGS but that did not seem suitable for the Events Calendar or other places on the website, and that I decided not to forward through the mailing list. Some examples include event notices, links to tour companies, online sales coupons for bicycling gear.

Events

Wednesday, August 15 to Sunday, August 19, 2012: Vermont Challenge 2012 is the only bicycle Challenge that tours Southern and Central Vermont over 3 or 4 days and draws upon the creative energy of local businesses and people of Vermont, key ski resorts, restaurants and farms in each local community that we visit. We offer the bicyclist the chance to complete a century over one of Vermont's legendary "Gaps" across the spine of the Green Mountains with stunning vistas in each direction. August 15-19, 2012, Stratton, VT. Fee.
