I am a road bicycle enthusiast involved in organizing cycling trips with and for my Canadian fellow friends in the northeastern United States. It is always a challenge to plan safe and enjoyable routes without being there to check them out in advance.
I wanted to let you know that I have been very impressed with the availability and dedication of Sue Hoxie of the Addison County Chamber of Commerce.
She has taken time to take a close look at my routes and provide me important and relevant information regarding road works and conditions, suggesting alternate roads for us.
All of this while she has better things to do in the final sprint of organizing the Vermont Gran Fondo that took place last weekend. I am impressed!
I don’t know if this is the right place to say this, but the very vast majority of Canadians are truly concerned about what is happening in your country after electing a person unfit to be president, to say the least. Bernie Sanders would have done a much better job.  Anyways, thanks for everything, including the involvement of your chamber of commerce, which feels like a warm welcome.
