Autumn in New England is an
experience not to be missed. The region is well known for
its incredible beauty at this time of year when the
changing of seasons turns the tree leaves to brilliant
shades of red, yellow and orange. The view is even more
spectacular when seen from the seat of a motorcycle on a
perfect mountain road. |
| "The
colours that spread out in front of me almost defied description; bright
vivid reds, golden oranges, flourescent greens, yellows and even purples.
With the sun shining on the distant carpet of trees, it was as if they
were lit up from inside. I was standing by the side of the
road... looking out at the most stunningly beautiful view I had ever
seen."
- Simon Winter, a CNBC cameraman who filmed
one of our 1997 foliage tours and then wrote about the experience in an
article called "Video and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"
which appeared in Camcorder User magazine in September of 1998. |

You'll stop to look out at the
crisp white buildings of New England villages set amidst
a blaze of nature's color. The roads are smooth and
twisty; they'll lead you up through alpine gaps and
notches and then down along mountain streams as they make
their way into the valleys. Its a great combination, the
best roads of New England surrounded by brilliant fall
foliage.
"...At the end of
every day, I said the same thing, " Oh my gosh, that was the best
riding of my life!"...The food was excellent; the accommodations
were above and beyond. Great camaraderie from all. Sean is
knowledgeable and funny. Advice is freely given if asked for, no
preaching. I came away a better, safer, and more confident
rider...Definitely the most fun I've had on a motorcycle so
far..."
- Dave Wood

"During
the day, superb riding on exciting and virtually traffic-free
roads - from straights to sweeping curves to tight downhill
corners - all set amid stunning scenery. In the evenings,
excellent food and lodgings accompanied by enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining company."
- Simon Banks, London, England

| An
elegant
meal and a room in a classic inn will be waiting for you at the
end of each day's ride. After a gourmet dinner, you might relax
and talk with new friends or enjoy a walk around town or
down a small back road. The next morning you'll wake up
to a full country breakfast and decide what to do with
your day. You might decide to join the group ride or use
our custom route maps and suggestions to explore on your
own. Either
way, the riding will be superb and the fall scenery
spectacular. |

Our foliage tours are shorter
versions of the Northeastern
Mountains Tours. On the first three
tours, the riding is all scheduled for weekdays when the
roads are most empty. All foliage tours spend several days
exploring the Green Mountains
of Vermont. Tour one also travels up into the Adirondack
Mountains to catch the earlier
northern peak foliage. Tours three and four instead spend more time in
southern Vermont to catch the later
southern peak foliage. Our many years of exploring this
region have taught us where to bring you for an
unforgettable week of riding. Come and experience it
for yourself.

Foliage tour that appeared in the May, 1998 issue of The
Robb Report.
