Exclamation Mark Latest National Rally Info-Please Read

Tom has put all the info in one place. Please take the time to read it.

This file has all the information about the time and place of the Meet and Greet and the Finale Dinner.

It also includes the Start Times, routes and descriptions of the the Group Rides.
Plus guidelines for the group rides.

The schedule for everything that is planned is listed.
Directions to the motel, Usher Park (Meet and Greet site) and Barnsider BBQ (Finale Dinner) are included.
More details on the Finale dinner will be coming soon.
But if it's something you should know, it's in there.

Information on state laws and things to be aware of when riding in the area are also included.
Along with a ton of other great information about the area.
If some of the places he mentions sound like someplace you want to go, well he made GPS routes.

Just follow this link to the VBA website and click on the file at the top of the page.
Or here's a link to it in pdf format. Thanks Jim. National Rally Info

The GPS routes can be downloaded from Dropbox by clicking here.
Just click on the route and select download.

I look forward to seeing you in New York.

Nicely Done.
So how serious is this Vermont reflective helmet law? I did some internet searches and didn't seem like it was inforced. I know our helmets don't have it.

And whats with crossing railroad tracks at a 45 degree angle? Not what I've been taught.

Not sure on the reflective law or how big an area they want but on some helmets the dot approval on the back is reflective, or to comply and be a bit safer one could buy small reflective stickers.
As for the railway crossings I think what Tom may have meant was 45 degree as a minimum. We have rural railway crossings here in Quebec and Ontario that intersect roads at a angle sometimes making it hard to cross the tracks at a true 90 degrees.

Vermont resident here, don't sweat the reflective helmet thing. If you have it fine, it not who cares. The police aren't looking for that stuff.

I hope you're going to find time to make a showing Gerry.

That is exactly what I meant Norm. Thanks for clarifying.

A couple of the railway crossings that we'll hit cross the road at or more than 45 degrees from perpendicular.
