The gang at the start Tour De Zack 
 

Bike Vermont provided great support 
Zack's Place Water Stop

The Tour De Zack, a cycling event, that is part of the Zack's Place Dine Around Catalog of events, took off with gusto on Saturday July 28, 2012 from Woodstock to Piermont NH. Over 36 people registered for the cycling event. The 48 mile ride crossed over the hills of Pomfret, then up to the hills of Hartford to Norwich. Joining with the group doing the 24 mile ride in Norwich, the ride continued along the Connecticut River, north to Piermont NH. Riders were cooled off with a short down pour but the thunder and lightning chose to stay away. Zack's Place participants and Bike Vermont vans followed the group along the way and met at various locations for water stops.

Upon arrival, the cyclists were greeted by volunteers, with refreshments, swimming and eventually sat down for a fully catered meal. While dining cyclists were serenaded by the beautiful voice of Brian Warren. At the close of the evening all participants were bused back to Woodstock by Butler Bus Company.

This event was supported by King Arthur Flour, Farmway, AL Bellimore Plumbing and Heating, The Start House, Bike Vermont, Kate and Doug Miller, Guaranteed Rate, Brian Warren, Jason and Katie Merrill and "The Worthy Burger" and Dail and Norm Frates. Zack's Place thanks all of the volunteers and the sponsors for a wonderful evening.
