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 62 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 | 6h 12m |
| 12 mph | 5h 10m |
| 14 mph | 4h 26m |
| 16 mph | 3h 52m |
| 18 mph | 3h 27m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
