The quiet villages, rolling hills, and breath-taking scenery of Central Vermont are perfect for the biking enthusiast. Four Central Vermont day trips make it easy for the recreational cyclist to enjoy Central Vermont's back road and off road riding. Paved and unpaved roads winding by historic communities and picturesque countryside provide the perfect setting for day-long exploration. Trips range from 12 to 23 miles. Some have optional extensions, and creative minds can combine routes or design their own from the maps provided.

The tours were mapped by local residents who share your passion for wide tires and open spaces. From Montpelier's historic downtown and capitol district to the secluded meadows of the Mad River Valley, these tours provide an ever-changing backdrop for your travels.
