August 22, 2010: Pedal for Paws to benefit the North County Animal League in VT
The annual Pedal for Paws event offers a choice of three classic bicycle rides through the scenic countryside of North Central Vermont, starting in Stowe and traveling through quaint villages and rolling farmland. The route is strategically designed to avoid big hill climbs but still afford major views of the Green and Worcester mountain ranges. There is enough challenge to satisfy all levels of cyclist. All participants are asked to collect pledges from friends, family or any animal lover to support the homeless dogs and cats sheltered by NCAL.  All proceeds go directly to benefit the animals.
