9 months agoWell, if you're in Brattleboro, there's two easy options to get up to that bridge. You can either take Route 30, about six miles north, easy ride with nice wide shoulders, or you can take the West River Trail, a somewhat rustic rail trail, plus a little dirt road riding that runs up the other side of the river that will also take you there.
Any particular reason you're heading to Montpelier? It basically sits in the center of the state east-west wise, so if you're zig-zagging up the VT-NH border, getting to Montpelier is quite a zig (or zag).
Have you given any thought to heading north from Albany and staying in NY, then cutting over Lake Champlain into Burlington, and working your way across VT from there?
Hi Bob,
We are planning a coast to coast ride and looking at a route from Albany NY (After the Erie canalway) into Vermont at Bennington to Brattleboro. But then continuing onto Keene (using some rail-trails).
This bridge though looks like a nice stop. The plan is to zig zag between VT and NH up to Montpelier before heading east into Maine.
Any recommendations? Thanks

Thanks Mike. Yup just a couple months old in that photo. 3 years and 10,000 miles later, it's not quite so clean and shiny anymore.

Nice clean new bike!
