Green Mountain Stage Race - Prerace Prep

After a "nice" 20 hour drive, we arrived in Vermont, unloaded the trailer full of bikes, and started the race preparations.

First order of business was recovery fluids - we arrived in Warren (site of the time trial course) just in time to pick up our quota of Lawson's Double Sunshine IPA (one of the top rated IPAs in the country, brewed right there in Warren!) as they sell out of it shortly after the morning delivery. We also managed to get out an pre-ride the time trial course and part of the road race course.

There are also some unusual sights to be viewed in VT too - for example, Diane spotted the zebra in the picture below - who knew zebras lived in VT!
