Tuesday we took a drive South to visit Breadloaf and the Rikert Touring Center. We had a large group with the whole team and five Flex Termers along for the the day. Abby Weissman from NENSA joined us as well. Some of the youngsters got a taste of the Bill Koch Festival venue, got to see the Robert Frost Cabin, and were treated like royalty by the staff at Rikert — even got to use the Middlebury Ski Team “Team Room!” Thank you to Tim and the staff for making us feel so welcome.
