I'm throwing out a quick feeler for two rides that I'm planning for the Fall some time.
First one is a social Paceline group ride in or around South Royalton, VT finishing with burgers at Worthy Burger (http://worthyvermont.com/worthy-burger/), a Burger and Craft Beer Bar. This one will involve some climbing, probably be 30-50 miles in length, though I can figure out alternate routes if there is interest.
Last year, Sandy and Brendan joined me for a ride in this area, we had a good time, though we were unable to partake in the Worthy Burgers.
Second one is a ride that I want to do across New Hampshire. From about Fairlee, Vermont to North Conway, NH. Logistics on this one are tricky, but if there is interest, I am willing to figure it out, and press my wife into service. This is about a 70 or 80 mile ride, I think, and will involve climbing a couple of significant climbs, one being Kancamagus Pass, from Lincoln. Good news is, after that summit, should be almost all downhill to the Maine border, and then roll up to North Conway to get some stone oven fired pizza at Flatbread Pizza Co.
Here's a link to a potential route. Pavement quality was not great on 118 descent, last time I was there. So, will modify this based on if there is new pavement. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/15283598 Note the legit switchback on the ascent of the Kanc.

If there's any interest in either ride, let me know, here or in PM. My best guess on timing for both rides will be early September - Early November. Part of me wants to do it in high foliage, and part of me wants to avoid the potential traffic of high foliage.
Let me know if you have any questions.
