The ice of living glaciers moves down slopes: how then could the ancient ice have passed over the tops of the mountains unless the land itself had been so low that icebergs could have floated over them? The geologists had the credit of believing many strange stories, but even they hesitated to accept the doctrine that land ice could have been pushed over New England from the St.

  • Ride Suggestions
    RIDE SUGGESTIONS Visit Americade - The COG Fall Weekend event coincides with the ending dates of the 2021 Americade event in Lake George NY., 9/21-9/25. Lake George is less than 100 miles from the Grey Ghost Inn. One of the quickest routes would be to take Rt-100 North to Rt-11 West into Manchester VT. Take Rt-30 North to US-4 South to Rt-149 West, in Fort Ann NY. Follow Rt-149W to US-9 North into Lake George. Approximately 2-1/2 hour ride. Vermont Gaps Ride - There are three primary Gaps that cut through the Green Mountains National Forest. Each gap road links Rt-100 from the East with US-7 to the West. • Starting from West Dover, the 1st Gap to the north is “The Brandon Gap”, (Rt-73). • The next Gap to the north is “The Middlebury Gap”, (Rt-125). • The 3rd Gap to the north is “Mad River”, (Rt-17). Note: Be careful riding Mad River as there are several hairpin turns and extremely steep grades in several locations. Attempting to ride all (3) gaps is an all day 300 mile round trip ride back to West Dover. Taking the Brandon Gap west then the Middlebury Gap east back to Rt-100 South to West Dover is about a 6 hour, 225 mile loop, not including stops. When riding Mad River, I prefer going East on Rt-17, uphill through the hair pin turns to the summit, then the downhill twisties back toward Rt-100. I usually ride Rt-100 north to Rt-125 west then take Rt-116 north in Middlebury to Rt-17 east (Mad River).
