Rooted Vermont in the rearview

Wow. It’s amazing what two years of preparation will do when it comes to planning an event. Let me take a step back and be clear, my wife Laura and our friend Kristin Motley are the motors behind Rooted Vermont. I’m more of an ideas man, a course designer, and provider of suggestions that on some occasions, make it to reality.

Planning a gravel event is like planning a wedding. You hope that all of your friends can make it, there are lots of folks you don’t know but you’re excited to meet and help share the day, the time is painfully fleeting, you have an amazing time, and then people disperse and are gone by Monday already back at work with a bit of a hangover — either real or “event hangover.”

But boy oh boy, you can pack a lot into a wedding… err, gravel weekend.

Here are a small smattering of photos from the weekend. For even more, please visit this site.
