SMGR

The routes for the Saturday Morning Gravel Rides. It is what it says on the tin.

Gravel Gap A (is for Adventure) Ride

Town
Randolph, VT
Map
Description

Classic paved and unpaved Gap A-Ride with some challenging but rideable class IV on Rochester Gap and in Middlebury and Lincoln. Spectacular views on the Braintree Hill finish after Roxbury Gap. Stores available at mile 39 (Ripton), mile 60 (Jerusalem), and mile 73 (Waitsfield). Definitely recommend lots of water/carbs, wide tires, negative gear ratios, and climbing legs.

Town
Randolph, VT
Map
Description

A monster gap ride. This route is mainly dirt roads linking many of Vermont's Gaps (Randolf, Brandon, App, Moretown) and remote byways. There are a half dozen sections of challenging but mostly rideable class IV. There are stores at mile 39 (Ripton), mile 60 (Jerusalem), mile 73 (Waitsfield), mile 84 (Moretown) and mile 100 (Northfield). Definitely recommend lots of water/carbs, wide tires, negative gear ratios, and climbing legs for this one!

SMGR Sunapee Kearsarge June 2026

Town
New London
Map
Description

Mostly paved ride, road wheels with wider tires would be fine. No Class VI. 

Route differs from previous years between miles 54 and 55 due to a rail trail access dispute. Leave rail trail at mile 54 by going right on Bridge Street, go left on Route 4 for about 1 mile, left onto Depot Street then left at mile 55 onto Cilleyville Road where you'll get back on the original route.

7+ mile paved climb to Mt. Kearsarge trailhead, bathrooms available there. Back down to cafe at bottom, mile 38.
