We ask that Riders raise at least $150 to support Vermont CARES’ work, and the combined efforts of so many volunteers, Riders, and sponsors means this is our biggest event of the year. Our goal for 2012 is to raise $30,000 so we can support HIV/AIDS programming across the state. This is VERY achievable if you ride with us, and help bring a team of your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors!

We will have pre-registration set up on this page on May 1. Those who register by June 5 will receive a Champlain Century t-shirt.

In addition to the 100-mile Century Ride, we will also have loops of 25 miles, 50 miles and 75 miles.

The Champlain Century serves as an important fundraising and public relations event for FNLC. We want to bring bike riders to the shores of the Lake. We want to show people what a magnificent jewel the Lake is, and why a clean Lake is so valuable to Vermont, Vermonters and Vermont businesses. The northern Lake truly reflects the people that live in northwestern Vermont and the Missisquoi region of Quebec.

While not a challenge to be tackled by the casual rider, the 100/200 should be within the capabilities of most well-trained cyclists. Bicycling Magazine included this ride in a 1989 article titled “Hell On Wheels: The 10 Toughest One-Day Rides in North America.” Whether you’ve never tried a double-century before, or you’re an experienced long-distance cyclist, this ride presents you with a challenge that you will always remember!

The Tour is a charity ride to support IROC’s Healthy Changes Initiative, a groundbreaking discount membership and exercise program for people suffering from diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as cancer patients and survivors and seniors age 65 and older. The Initiative is presently engaging hundreds of participants to manage, control and improve their conditions and take back control of their lives.

Join a guided walk, or grab a map and head off along one of three spectacular routes in Vermont’s National Park and Woodstock’s Town Parks. Each trail leads to samples of delicious farm-fresh treats prepared by area students and community groups—and you’ll also encounter family-friendly arts and crafts activities, trail games, displays, live animals and music. Return to the National Park Forest Center after your walk to enjoy local ice cream and great music.

This free event is co-sponsored by over 30 area organizations and is fast-becoming one of the most popular events in the Upper Valley.

This event is open to children 14 years and younger accompanied by an adult.

There is no fee for this event, although children must have their own equipment and bait. Handlines are sufficient. No nets may be used to actually catch fish, only to land fish that are already hooked.

Any species of fish caught at the Winooski River Recreational Area is eligible as long as it is legal. The child must play and land the fish, although the adult may help with baiting hooks, casting, and landing the fish with a net. Each entry will be judged on weight and time of entry.

Winning fish will be based on heaviest weight and earliest weighed-in in the event of ties. Only fished weighed-in and released alive will be eligible for awards. Dead fish or fish not reasonably expected to survive will not be eligible for awards.
