Gravel

Mostly gravel or includes Downer Forest. We’ll start at 8am this time, from Huntley Meadows.

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.

An SMGR loop through Quechee, Pomgret, Woodstock-Cloudland and Hartland. From Watson Dog Park in White River Junction.

60 mile gravel road ride, no known adventure sections.

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!

Starting at Huntley Meadows, a quick spin up Rt 5 to left on 132 where, after a few minutes, you'll see Sweetland Farm on your right. A nice spot for a regroup and a culinary treat, before proceeding on. A cool climb on Stowell awaits, after which you will be rewarded with a lovely spin down New Boston, back to the parking lot
