The Targa Verde TV01

This past weekend I was invited by @mizwa_964 and the @targaverde to a very unique gathering.  53 cars in Southern Vermont. Many drives. A concourse. A hill climb and much rowdiness in between. 

The cars were a wonderful mix of classic and modern drivers. Cars meant to be enjoyed on the perfect summer-kissed roads of this lush mountain-heavy state redolent with maple syrup and long winding sweepers. 

On the way up I spent one of the most amazing 8 hours with @dlloyds18 and @nein_six_four exploring some of the best roads in the North East fighting through biblical rain and forested gravel to reach @hermitageclub, the hub for this merry band. 

The next day we assembled on the lawns of the club for a dappled afternoon of chat and merriment followed by a sunset rip redolent of pine and gasoline. 

The next morning we met and decamped to the foot of Mt Equinox. The only access road is owned by Carthusian monks. A unique and verdant and extremely steep runway to 4-7 minutes of pure adrenaline. I need to do that again. Maybe more than once. 

We then did a group ride down to @eatathoneypie and scarfed a monstrously good burger while enjoying bear tourism. 

After that we headed home. Full and satiated. 

While the roads and the cars were brilliant, the people were the star of the event. A brilliant band of misfits and rogues. Assembled carefully and a fitting first group to kick off what should be a glorious annual event. 

To many more. Vermont, we love you. Thank you @mizwa_964 @christophermilligan @targaverde and the @hermitageclub
