I headed out to West Rutland again only this time I tried some different roads to add more to my Wandrer total.

West Rutland RAW

 Mar 25, 2025

I got the Waltly back from the shop with a new spoke and headed out to West Rutland after work with the intention of riding through the Taconic Mountains on VT 133 and then riding the entirety of Walker Mountain Road back towards Clarendon.

I passed by the West Rutland Art Park but it looked a little anemic.

Passed by the Clarendon Springs Hotel

Finally turning onto Walker Mountain Road and there wasn't much to see

but it's a pretty good climb for 5 miles.

There's good view of Killington Peak

and plenty of cows.

It was snowing on Pico this afternoon.

There's a sculpture of a moose in West Clarendon.

His name is Wendell

Cold River Road is not bad but can get busy

It was cold enough today to warrant bar mitts!

Riding with the Doggo

Ann & I took Kai in the trailer today down to Wallingford and he was a little more work than the last time. He was whining a lot more this time, especially if he couldn't see Ann.

Fletcher Farm Trails

 Sep 25, 2026

A new trail system just opened in Ludlow, VT called Fletcher Farm Trails and I thought I would check it out. I replaced the rear brake pads on the Cujo and loaded her up on the MINI. It's kind of a bittersweet day as I will be trading in the MINI for a pick up truck and this is the last time I will carry a bike with the car.

Go Dog, Go!

We have an onery, Corgi and Australian Shepherd mix and hate leaving him in VT when we come down to Connecticut. We brought him down with us this weekend and decided to get him a kid trailer so we could take him on rides with us. I looked around Craigslist and FB Market Place and found this InStep Trailer over in Naugatuck. On Sunday, we tested it out with Kai.
