Sojourn is thrilled to partner with Terry Bicycles to bring you two fabulous tours along the country roads of the Lake Champlain region of Vermont - the backyard of both Terry and Sojourn! It's not by accident that two cycling related companies are based here in the heart of some of the best bicycling routes in the US.
Join us for amazing rides through the Lake Champlain Valley's most scenic countryside. From your lakeside lodging at the renowned Basin Harbor Club, you'll pedal the back roads that helped make Vermont one of the top destinations for bicycle touring. The trip kicks off with a lakeside cocktail party and welcome reception where everyone will have a wonderful opportunity to become acquainted.
Enjoy the opportunity to ride with Terry Bicycles founder, Georgena Terry, and engage in lively conversation with this fabulously interesting woman. Enthusiastic and energetic Terry CEO, Liz Robert, will also join the group to share with you exciting goings-on with the company. Throughout the trip you'll be accompanied by two of Sojourn finest tour leaders who will guide you on a most enjoyable and memorable adventure!
In addition to being able to test ride Terry bicycles, you will also have the opportunity to meet Terry staff and shop for cycling gear at a private tent sale. This special sale is available only to tour participants. Terry product designers will be on hand to answer questions and work with you to address your cycling needs. This presents a unique opportunity to connect with decision makers in the women's cycling world.
Daily route options will be offered for leisure cyclists as well as those seeking more challenging terrain and mileage. The Lake Champlain Valley offers a combination of fairly level and gently rolling terrain however there is plenty of climbing for those who want to tackle some tougher route options. Given the area's extensive network of paved back roads, you will quickly realize why Vermont is so inviting for bike tours, and why the Basin Harbor Club is the perfect setting for these special events.
Warm-up your legs rolling through pastoral farmland in the valley, visit the college town of Middlebury, and cross Lake Champlain by private boat for a fabulous spin along the New York shore. You'll return home with a host of fond memories and a fine collection of new friends!
