Route Summary

A mix of road and gravel. We leave CCBA on the rail trail and then climb Hardy Hill to Sunset Rock, a gravel descent. A short distance along Rt 4 to Ice House Rd to rejoin the rail trail. We exit the rail trail to cross over Mascoma Lake, preferably using the bridge. Rt 4A takes us to Shaker Blvd, a pleasant winding gravel road along the back of the lake. We rejoin the rail trail for a third time to head back to Riverside where we cross the covered bridge to take Bank St Extension and the rail trail (again!) to return to CCBA.

Description

This is an ideal ride for those UVWCC and UVCC members who haven't ridden with us this year. The route is a mix of road, rail-trail, climbs, and gravel, but nothing very challenging. If we have a larger turnout for the C ride, we will divide into self-selected groups based on pace.

We will regroup at the top of Sunset Rock, to admire the views over to Killington, and again near the start of Shaker Blvd.

At the end of the ride we will head over to the Salt Hill Pub for the mid season party.
