SUMMARY:3 Day 150 mile Vermont Rail Trail Ride
DESCRIPTION:This is an unsupported Bike trip across Vermont.  The total distance is 155 miles over 3 days of biking.  The longest day is 57 miles.  We’ll be packing sleeping bags\, tents\, food and cooking equipment.  The first two days will be entirely on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail which is a beautiful\, really well built rail trail that winds its way through farms\, woods and small towns.  The last day will be on nice roads\, over North and South Hero Islands on Lake Champlain\, crossing Lake Champlain on the Island Line Trail.  We can spend the night with a friend who lives in St. Johnsbury.  I can bring everyone’s equipment in a truck and a trailer.  I’m a bike mechanic and I’ll pack spare parts and tools.  I’ll also arrange for emergency pick up if needed. \nDate is flexible pending interest and availability\, as well as the weather.  Feel free to get in touch with questions or concerns. \nDay 1.  Make our way to St. Johnsbury\, Vt. Have dinner and spend the night at a friend’s house. \nDay 2.  The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail climbs up at a 3% grade for the first 17 miles or so\, then down at a 2-3% grade for the next 20.  3% isn’t a hard grade\, but after 17 miles you’ll be delighted when it changes from up to down.  There is about 1600 feet of elevation gain in the first 17 miles.  We can stop for lunch at an iconic General Store and eat on the shores of Joe’s Pond.  Pack for Dinner which we will cook at our campground\, the Mountain View Campground\, which boasts a pool\, hot tubs and a great selection of local beer. \nDay 3.  This is a more remote stretch of Vermont\, and the trail runs mostly through woods.  We can stop for breakfast and pack for lunch at the Morrisville Food Coop\, then it’s into the woods.  The trail ends at Swanton where we can stop at Hannafords to pick up dinner and the following days Breakfast and Snacks.  There are a few miles of biking on a busy road to get to the campground\, which is Campbell’s Family Campground.  This is just a dairy farm on Lake Champlain that’s diversified into camping.  It can be loud at night\, but it’s a good spot.   \nDay 4.  Breakfast at the campground.  This day is Road Biking on North and South Hero Islands.  We’re off the rail trail and on to roads\, so there is some up and down\, but it’s a manageable 600 feet of climb over the day.  North and South Hero islands are beautiful rural islands that make for some great biking.  The last 10 miles or so is over the Island Line Trail\, which is a really exquisite causeway trail over the Lake.  There is a Ferry over a gap in the trail.  We’ll end the night at Burlington where we can enjoy some great food and Beer.  We’ll book an Air BNB for the night
