Mountain biking, breweries, and lake sails
Hen of the Wood for the dinner that anchors the trip, Foam Brewers on the waterfront for the afternoon flight, oysters and martinis at Honey Road, a closer at the Archives arcade bar on Church Street. Sunset sail on Lake Champlain with Whistling Man Schooner, mountain bikes at Perry Hill if the group has legs. Compact downtown, every bar within a ten-minute walk.
