I’m really proud to announce the Boy’s U-14 Soccer Team finished the season undefeated. We played our final game last Sunday against Middlebury and won 4 to 1.
It was a great season, my first coaching, and the group of guys was really fun to coach and see play. Overall the team progressed from taking what we learned in practice and bringing it into the games.
I had a lot of fun and look forward to watching these kids play at the next level.

Back Country Biking
Forget Moab and Slick Rock: Vermont rocks when it comes to the hard tail, soft tail, off-trail fun of mountain biking.
We’re not just talking a park here or there: Try the whole state, top to bottom, east to west, bike path to goat path, beginner’s joy to bone-rattlin’ downhill.
Start with Vermont’s gravel roads and old logging trails. Grab a Vermont Atlas, or one of the many mountain biking guides to Vermont, and go. There’s 9,000 miles or so to explore, filled with New England’s best scenery and quaint villages. Your legs are the limit, and there’s little traffic to contend with.
Then there’s mountain biking hot spots like Millstone Hill Touring Center in Barre Town, Moosalamoo Region in Goshen, and the Or the booming bike haven of East Burke, where the non-profit Kingdom Trails has created a spectacular 100-mile mapped complex of off-road trails and single track (recently voted as as the best trail network in North America by Bike Magazine).
Many Vermont ski resorts, like Mt. Snow, home of the nation’s first Mountain Biking School, feature riding and rentals with lift-serviced trails. Several also host pro races and bike festivals. The Catamount Outdoor Family Center near Burlington has popular weekly races for all level of riders.
In the wild Northeast Kingdom, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center features bike rentals, clinics and guided tours on a mapped, 200-mile network of scenic dirt roads and trails.
For easier-on-the-legs riding and premier foliage viewing, not to be missed are Vermont’s bike paths in Stowe, Burlington and the 26-mile rural Mississquoi rail trail between St. Albans and Richford
