Backroads Summer Squeeze 2024

https://backroadsusa.com/backroads-events

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

August 26 -29th

We don't think you have much to fear about Lucky 13!

After a year off the 13th Backroads' Summer Squeeze Rally will head back to Southern Vermont, and we have rooms blocked at both the Gray Ghost Inn and the Kitzhof Inn - both just down the road from each other on Route 100, in West Dover, Vermont.

This rally "squeezes" in some great riding during a part of the week that sees the roads of Vermont far more open and free of traffic.

It is simply great riding and so much more fun!

There will be a couple of very neat routes, and maybe a bit of fun & games along with them, along with some evening porch guitar time.

Book today, as our room block is limited and they will go fast!

The Most Valuable Hot Wheels Cars Ever

Hot Wheels celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018 with one of its best years ever. We called our old friend and Hot Wheels-fanatic Bruce Pascal to check up on what’s changed since last year in terms of rare and valuable cars. His collection of more than 7000 items is valued at just over $1 million. So he knows his stuff.

Head West Young Men and Women

with MotoVermont

7 Days, 7 Nights • Two October Dates
12-19 and 21-28, 2024

The tour begins on sandy two track, rising out of the Rio Grande valley into the high desert. The first day will have us riding several river washes and visiting at least 2 hidden ghost towns. Ultimately, the beautifully restored Magdalena Hall hotel and the historic town of Magdalena, which is a sort of ghost town in itself, awaits us. From there, we explore lush Aspen forests, high mountain peaks, rocky desert trails, canyon interiors, many ghost towns and historical relics from a day when New Mexico was even less populated than it is now - hard to believe! Each evening, we will find ourselves at a different lodging establishment; a mix of historic Inns, remote cabins, hunting lodges and cool downtown hotels.
Transportation of your motorcycle or rentals are available. For full details, follow the link and watch the video.
