Map
Description

This is a climby gravel ride through central VT with two adventure class IV sections. The class IV is challenging but scenic and (famous last words) rideable.

We'll start/finish at the Bridgewater Park parking lot, see the google map link. It's across from Gold Coast Road, right off Route 4. 

The route goes through Hale Hollow, the "CCC" climb (2 miles at 10%!), then a flat section of class IV on the Catamount Trail. 

We have a stop planned at Singleton's Store at mile 37.

Description

The route starts at Huntley Meadows in Norwich and climbs Bragg Hill to Kate Wallace, which offers about a half-mile of single track to Mitchell Brook and the long descent on Tigertown.  Kate Wallace can be avoided if you descend back to Beaver Meadow and continue up to Mitchell Brook.

After descending Tigertown, and climbing Joe Ranger, enjoy views along Webster Hill and Wild Apple in Pomfret.

There is some additional unmaintained surface on North Perry in order to get to Abracadabra Coffee on Route 12.
