Six days threading Vermont's Green Mountains, covered bridges, dirt roads and river valleys, ending on Lake Champlain. Home ground, ridden well.
This is home ground. Jayne grew up riding these dirt roads, and the route is built out of the ones worth the climb: river valleys, covered bridges, the gaps through the spine of the Green Mountains, and a finish out over the water on the Champlain causeway.
The climbs that make Vermont, ridden at a pace that lets you finish them.
More of them here than anywhere else in the country, and the route goes through several.
Vermont has more unpaved road than paved, and the quiet ones are the good ones.
Long descents, working farms, and the White River running beside you.
A gravel spit running straight out into the lake to finish the week.
Farm dinners, cheese from up the road, and cider that did not travel far.
Vermont stitched together by its newest long trail, the marble causeway across Champlain, and the farm country around Middlebury.
Overnight stops shown. Daily riding routes come to you as GPS files before you fly.
Tap any day to open it.
Arrive on the lake. A waterfront spin out the Island Line Trail to shake the travel off, then a craft-cider welcome dinner.
Out along the Colchester Causeway, three miles of marble laid straight across open water, then the bike ferry over the Cut to South Hero. Champlain Islands in the afternoon with a vineyard stop.
East from Cambridge Junction through Johnson to Morrisville on ninety-three miles of car-free rail bed. A covered-bridge detour, and a swimming hole if the season allows.
The connector into the Stowe Recreation Path, then an afternoon at leisure in the most famous mountain village in the state.
From Vergennes through farm country to Middlebury, finishing at the falls in the middle of the village.
Sections of the Trail Around Middlebury, a creamery and a cider house, and an optional climb up Snake Mountain for the whole Champlain panorama. Farewell farm dinner.
A final morning on dirt roads and through covered bridges before departures from Burlington.
