    It's a classic ~ pretty much "The Original Vermont Gravel Grinder" ~ and among the best one-day bike tour routes in New England! Mountain vistas backdrop farmers haying in the

    field, while you pedal past white-steepled churches, historic barns, waterfalls, and lakes in this formerly-known-as Central Vermont Cycling Tour. The scenery is unbroken and you're free to concentrate on the beauty because this is a supported ride with convenient food stops and well-marked courses! Plus, enjoy a celebratory lunch and a delicious Morse Farm Maple Creemee included with every registration (you've earned it!).

    Choose among three levels of ease/difficulty, ranging from the family-friendly short course (quiet roads winding along serene ponds and meandering past quaint country stores) to the challenging long course (59 miles of gravel grinder roads with over 6000 feet of elevation gain) - all courses were designed by Olympic cyclist Pavel Cherkasov.

    Route Maps:

    Early registration is $60 per adult. Starting on May 31, registration is $75 per adult.

    Kids 11 and under register for FREE! (Kids in this category will need an adult to reg and ride with them and sign a waiver)

    Start and finish at Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks in East Montpelier, VT with routes running through towns of Calais, East Montpelier, Middlesex, Woodbury, and Worcester.

    RIDE DAY SCHEDULE:

    Sign-in opens at 7:30 AM and closes at 9:30 AM.

    You can sign in and start riding anytime between 7:30 and 9:30. At 10:30 AM, celebratory lunch begins and goes through the afternoon; 4:30 PM course closes.

    Food is free to all riders in attendance.
