This route will start and end in Rutland, VT at the Amtrak station. We intentionally build our routes to be accessible via the train so whether you are coming from NYC or Burlington, Rutland is a great stop! It is super easy to roll your bike right on the train with no need to disassemble.

From Rutland, we head out on the stunning rolling hills of southern VT. This is truly the Vermont experience that everyone at home will want to hear about! We will visit quaint towns, swim in Lake St Catherine (and spot loons there if we’re lucky!), and filter water from clean mountain streams. Camping for this trip will be at the Trailhouse, a mountain bike retreat center outside of Poultney. Our hosts are also adventure cyclists and have spent years building trails and routes in the area. Feel free to explore!

All of our routes are built as loops to give you different views, different creemee stops (Vermont’s very own version of a soft serve ice cream) and new opportunities for spotting wildlife!
