Mount Philo, in Charlotte VT, has open western views of the Adirondacks and the Lake Champlain valley making it ideal for sunsets and late afternoon fall lounging. It is a great place for a picnic, bird watching or a leisurely ride. The 1.2 mile road...
An epic ride includes it all: scenic vistas, challenging twisty bits, smooth straights, fast sweepers, good food and interesting stops. This ride qualifies. It will take an entire day to complete, combining technical riding, cruising, a gravel road section...
This is part 2 of The Epic Kingdom Ride. For part 1, See Richmond to Barre The Long Way There isn't a sign announcing the border to the Northeast Kingdom, but it is somewhere northeast of Barre. As you travel north on VT-14, then VT-15, then VT-16 there...
VT-110 running from South Royalton north to Barre is the most intriguing of the three alternatives to VT-100 (see parts 1 - VT-12 and part 2 - VT-14 ). One-ten has a feel that is more remote, more twisty and more country than the other two alternatives...
