This tour takes you into the most rural part of Vermont, an area that has changed very little over the years, and one that provides a delightful landscape of rolling hills, farmland, high forests, and grand views of Jay Peak and surrounding mountains.
The tour is based at the handsome Montgomery House Inn in Montgomery. This white-pillared brick inn was built in 1803 as a stagecoach stop, and has been welcoming travelers ever since. Bob and Deb Winders are your friendly hosts, and you will delight in the airy and comfortable guest rooms, the tap room warmed by a soapstone stove, and Deb's superb food that she serves in the low-beamed dining room.
Montgomery is rightfully famous for its six historic covered bridges. Two of these are just a nice stroll from the inn's front porch. You pass two more on the cycling routes, and you often visit another where it crosses the West Hill Brook at a discreet picture-perfect swimming hole.
The cycling leads through wide valleys following rural roads, and on a side trip to the shores of lovely Lake Carmi. Parallel the river as you cycle the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, and enjoy a wonderful mix of sunny farmland, shaded forest and quiet wetlands. Saturday's ride takes you into Canada (bring your passport!) and the historic village of Frelighsburg. Pass along the foothills of Mount Pinnacle and cycle through extensive apple orchards and farms. On Sunday, take a breathtakingly beautiful ride through South Richford, passing on sunday through Fuller Covered Bridge as you arrive back in Montgomery. And Bike Vermont makes sure your days leave time to relax in the inn’s hot tub and to enjoy the distant views over Hazen’s Notch.
