Cool Summer cycling in the heart of New England
Route Map
About This Tour
Great small towns with quintessential charm, covered bridges, village greens, and general stores make the perfect backdrop for cycling backroads to delightful lunch destinations on our new Vermont Four Day road and gravel tour.
Southern Vermont is an easy to drive-to destination, making this tour ideal for travelers from the mid-Atlantic to the Ohio Valley and New England.
While on the road in 2022 we had requests for more in the New England area. Coincidentally, an avid cyclist guest on our Florida Four Day owns a lovely B&B in Saxton’s River, Vermont. Loaded with an entire collection of rides throughout Vermont and New Hampshire, Dave offers not only his B&B but his knowledge of the area and routes ideal for cyclists from advanced beginners to avid.
The Vermont Four Day will be based out of Moore’s Inn in Saxtons River and offer four days of riding in southern Vermont and western New Hampshire. We venture east across the Connecticut River into the small towns of Walpole and ride as far west and north to include Ludlow, Proctorville, and Ascutney, VT.
We will visit and reside nightly in the historic town of Saxtons River. There will be one all-inclusive price of $1900 per person for up to four days of riding and included activities and services. The group ride will be limited to 13 riders. Our B&B will be limited to the first 11 guests. There are additional B&Bs within a short drive.
Each day of cycling will take us along quiet, country roads of the Connecticut River Valley
