    Gapped, Gored, and Notched!

    Is it reasonable to plan a morning ride to visit the Gaps, Gores, and Notchs of Vermont?

    Ahhh, raven...good one! Gaps, Gores and Notches...
    (You can't fool us, though!)

    Gap - A deep, sloping ravine or cleft through a mountain ridge (places like Lincoln Gap, Brandon Gap, Middlebury Gap...)

    Gore - an unorganized town or district within the state (places like Buel's Gore...)

    Notch - a narrow pass through the mountain with 1,000 foot cliffs on either side (places like Smugglers Notch - where I skied several times in my youth)

    You tell us there, Speed, can a BMW rider do a "morning ride" from Gore Mountain to Brandon Gap to Smugglers Notch and on to Buel's Gore before lunch while attending the 2006 National in Burlington???

    Ask, and ye shall receive - from the State of Vermont.

    See ya' there, raven - we're gettin' ready...we're headin' your way...lock up your daughters and hide the maple syrup. All roads lead east to Burlington (Essex Junction) - 20/23 July 2006. ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

    Maybe not, since the roads will be clogged with several thousand other Beemerphiles trying to do the same!
    Bikeless for now...but not forever!
