SUMMARY:Allen Clark Memorial Hill Climb
DESCRIPTION:The Allen Clark Memorial Hill Climb — the annual grunt-fest that has fast become a rite of cycling passage in the Mad River Valley — is a grueling time trial that rises 1\,600 vertical feet in 6.2 miles\, from the intersection of Routes 100 and 17 to the top of Appalachian Gap. \nThe event is named in honor of long-time Mad River Valley resident\, Allen Clark. An avid cyclist who took up biking late in life\, he rode 2\,500-3\,000 annually in Vermont. Allen especially loved the challenge of the Appalachian Gap. This event is a tribute to Allen’s life and a fundraiser for Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports\, an organization that meant a great deal to him. \nThe cost to register is $50 for adults and $30 for kids. \nBikers are encouraged to pre-register in advance of the event by clicking here \nRace-day registration will take place from 8:30-9:30AM in front of Stark Mountain Bike Works. A $10 surcharge per entry will be added to all day-of registrations. Entry includes automatic participation in a raffle for lots of great shwag! \nFor more information\, call 802-793-0109 \nBest Times — Medals awarded to the top three men and women in age categories. Post-race shwagraffle. \nNew Records — A special prize of $100 cash will be awarded to any man or woman who can set a new course record. Current records: Phil Mason — 23:11.43\, Marti Shea — 26:47.30. \nCombined Events — Trophies will be awarded to the man and woman with the best combined times for the bike race and Saturday’s Stark Mountain Hill Climb footrace. \nDetails:\nDate – Sunday October 6\, 2024\nStart — 10 AM\, Stark Mountain Bike Works\, Route 100 & Route 17\, Waitsfield\, VT\nFinish — Top of Appalachian Gap \n\nLength: 6.2 miles\nVertical climb: 1\,600 feet\nRace format: Time trial\, 30-second intervals\n8 age categories\, from 15 and under to 70 and over.\nRegistration fees: Adults – $50\, Kids – $30\, $10 surcharge per entry for race day registration.\n\nThe Course\nThe time trial course begins at Stark Mountain Bike Works at the corner of Routes 17 and 100 and rises 1600 vertical feet over 6.2 miles to finish at the intersection of the Long Trail at the summit of the Appalachian Gap. \n \nThe road\, originally named the McCullough Turnpike when built in the 1950s\, is currently the highest paved road in Vermont kept open year-round\, topping out at 2\,356 feet. The road wasn’t constructed using the high-tech survey methods available today; instead\, the bed was laid out following the natural contours of the terrain. With an average pitch of roughly 10 percent over the last 2½ miles\, the climb is steeper (if shorter) than most climbs in the Tour de France. But steepness alone isn’t everything. The numerous changes in pitch and direction are really what make the App Gap climb a challenging and exhilarating ride\, both physically and mentally. \nWho Can Participate?\nCyclists and Unicyclists of all ages and abilities with any type of bicycle are invited to tackle the challenge of racing to the top of the Appalachian Gap. In keeping with the spirit of its namesake\, the late Allen Clark\, the Hill Climb is a celebration of cycling as a sport for people of all ages and physical abilities\, with any type of bicycle. Clark was a Mad River Valley cycling enthusiast and a regular bike-shop customer who didn’t take up the sport until he was in his sixties. He went on to log between 2\,000 and 3\,500 miles a year\, well into his 70s\, riding in all weather and in every month of the year. His favorite bike was a Bianchi hybrid\, fully rigged with racks and a huge storage trunk. The bike weighed more than 40 pounds — more than twice the weight of a typical racing bike. \nThe Ap Gap climb was one of Clark’s favorite rides\, as it is for almost every cyclist in the Mad River Valley. The climb can be difficult and even downright painful\, but getting to the top is always extraordinarily rewarding. Regardless of what level rider you might be\, riding the Gap is the ultimate fitness reality check. That’s why local riders come back to the Gap again and again\, in a kind of love/hate relationship. \nCategories\nPrizes will be awarded for both men and women\, 15 years and over. Junior riders\, under age 15\, will finish at Mad River Glen. \n\nUnder 15\n15-19\n20+\n40+\n50+\n60+\n70+\nAdaptive\nTandem\nUnicyclists\n\nVolunteers\nThe Allen Clark Hill Climb relies on volunteers to make this event happen. Please consider offering a few hours of your time to ensure the race happens. Here are the needs – contact info@madrivervalley.com or call (802) 496-3409 if you are interested in helping out. \n3 volunteers from 8am to 10am for registration and parking management.  \n1 volunteer 9:30am to 11am to take extra clothing to the start.\n1 volunteer from 10am to 12pm to help timer at the top of the gap.

It is also important to plan ahead and make sure you have a place to stay and a clear view of the sky!

SUMMARY:MRV Memory Tree Lighting Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Mad River Valley Memory Tree lighting will make place on Friday\, December 8 a at 5 pm.  The Mad River Valley Memory Tree has long been a highlight to the annual illumination of the valley. At the event there will be music by the Songbird Project\, a fire dance and the reading of the names to be remembered.  The Memory Tree Lighting Ceremony will be recorded and aired later by Mad River Valley Television. \nHonor Your Memory Today!\n$5 each or 5 for $20\nThe Mad River Valley Memory Tree provides a way for community members to remember and honor a loved one\, event\, or anything close to your hearts and support a great cause too. At the tree lighting ceremony the bulb dedications are read. Each light dedication costs $5 with donations matched by the Winthrop H. Smith Jr. Family Foundation. All funds raised from the Memory Tree initiative are donated to the stewardMRV program that works to steward the MRV’s outdoor recreational access point. \nThe original concept was borrowed from the Saint Johnsbury Lions Club. Each year they would hold a tree lighting ceremony  where they would read the names of those who bought bulbs and for whom. After the Lions Club disbanded the Memory Tree tradition went away until Joan Wilson\, John Gallagher and Nancy and Jess Mobley revived the idea in 2013. Each year a different cause is selected as the beneficiary of the funds raised. \nHonor Your Memory Today!\n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mad River Valley Women in Business
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next meeting of the Mad River Valley Women in Business group. We’ll be meeting on Tuesday\, October 17th beginning at 5:30 pm at the Deco Bar at Hostel Tevere in Warren. Carrie McDonnell from One Day in July will be the special guest speaker. She plans to speak to financial issues pertinent to women and women-owned businesses specifically. \nCarrie McDonnell is a fiduciary financial advisor based in Central Vermont.  She works for the independent Vermont-based firm\, One Day In July.  A former school administrator and small business owner\, Carrie welcomes the opportunity to educate and empower individuals and businesses to be knowledgeable and savvy investors.  She believes investing should reflect who you are and what you value. Carrie loves living and working in rural Vermont\, where there is so much opportunity to play a part in shaping the local culture and community.  In particular\, she enjoys helping small business owners develop and implement financial plans for retirement and short term goals\, directly impacting a business’s success and sustainability. \nOn Tuesday\, Carrie will cover the following topics: \n\n\nTypes of employer sponsored retirement plans and the characteristics of each \n\n\nEffective investment strategies for optimizing returns and reducing tax liability \n\n\nThe importance of diversifying assets \n\n\nHow to avoid high fees & common investor mistakes \n\n\nThe Mad River Valley Women in Business group is a network of women business leaders in our community who have come together to unite\, support\, connect and grow. The group began in 2021 as we were in the midst of big changes within our local economy. There was a surge of new  businesses starting\, an influx of people moving into the community exacerbating an already difficult housing market\, existing establishments  were turning over and chamber membership  was growing.  Much of this change is being driven by women in our community.  There is a strong desire  within the MRV Chamber ‘s leadership to develop and support a vehicle for women to work together to support one another\, access information and resources\, achieve business goals and promote the greater good in the MRV. We strongly encourage you to attend our next meeting. \nThose interested in joining the group are encouraged to connect with leadership and join in.
