About riding in Vermont
Vermont's roads run through the Green Mountains and rolling farmland, with steep gaps, many dirt roads and small covered-bridge villages. Summer and fall foliage are the main riding seasons.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 150 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 15h 00m |
| 12 mph | 12h 30m |
| 14 mph | 10h 43m |
| 16 mph | 9h 22m |
| 18 mph | 8h 20m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
