SMGR

Two pave sections. Second one you need to pay attention it goes from Barnard  to Bartlett Brook Rd.. Easy to get off trail so be sure you follow your computer.  Coffee break at Abracadabra Cafe at about mile 15.  If we need more supplies we can stop in Pomfret.

Classic UV gravel featuring some class IV adventure.

This route is marked by long steady climbs on some lesser-traveled roads for SMGR.  Starting out in West Hartford, the route crosses the White River and begins the first long climb up Pomfret Road and Allen Hill Road, then descends into East Barnard.  Up East Barnard Road to Royalton Turnpike, then a turn onto North Perry Road into the first Class IV road (variable gravel, some adventurous terrain in the middle, with a ledgy descent) to South Perry Road.  From there, the route turns left onto Route 12 then the next left onto Lakota Road to climb Schoolhouse Hill.

This is the sister route to SMGR 9/20 Enfield to Ruggles https://www.strava.com/routes/3403737678999752258 without any class VI. Meant for those looking for a calmer alternative, but still enjoy the beautiful gravel between Enfield and Canaan!

In the spirit of Vermont Super 8, here is a gnarly class VI riddled route from Mascoma Lake out to Ruggles Mine. Bring extra supplies as stops are limited. Suggesting 40mm tires at a minimum. MTBs would not be the wrong bike for this route. Get ready for a crisp morning of gravel, friends, climbing, rocks, fall leaves, water, and some hike-a-bike. 

For those looking for a calmer route, please still come along because there is a beautiful alternative instead! Plenty of intersections and regroups! 

Some short adventure sections and mostly gravel roads.  Water/food in W. Fairlee if needed.

Adventure tour of Orford into Greens and back.

Kearsarge Climb.  Need money for entrance.
