Summary

Four years ago, Chris Corcoran and Darin Gillies showed up for a group ride in northern Vermont - they didn’t know each other, both were newly back in to riding, both had bikes too big for what they discovered was a ride on dirt and logging roads, and neither had the skills for the ride. But, this ride that they weren’t prepared for made for a lot of laughs and forged a friendship that would lead to thousands of miles on all types of backroads in Vermont, learning how to ride off-road while having a lot of fun doing it.
