About the Vermont Gravel Bike Route

Vermont has earned a reputation as one of the best places in the US for gravel cycling, and it's easy to see why. There's no shortage of quiet roads winding through farmland, wooded valleys and small mountain communities, often with far fewer cars than you'd find on a typical road cycling route.
The riding will certainly keep you busy! With some tough climbs, technical sections and the occasional stretch of singletrack, this is a route that rewards a bit of off-road experience. Lincoln Gap is one of the toughest climbs you'll encounter, but there are plenty of quieter stretches and descents to enjoy along the way.
Away from the bike, there's time to explore the towns you pass through, stop at local cafés and shops, and perhaps find a river or swimming spot to cool off after a long day. You'll share the experience with a small team of fellow cyclists, with our Route Leaders looking after the logistics and keeping everyone moving throughout the week.
