Day 5: Montpelier to Burlington
Another hot day, but with excellent scenery and relatively few hills. The tights and sleeves came off after 2.5 miles, while on River Road following the Winooski River downstream. Dexter, on his road bike, caught up to me and rode with me for about 10 miles. We chatted about my adventure, the great road conditions, and the rides he has done. His bucket list for rides includes Cadillac and Mount Lemmon.
After we parted, I pulled out on the thoroughfare of Rte. 2. The shoulder was wide and traffic light. I cranked out the miles into Burlington and followed segments of the Cross Vermont Trail through the congested areas east of town. Thanks for that guidance, Larry! The route connected with the Champlain Trail along the lakeshore. When I turned onto that, I enjoyed the gentle breeze and 15 degrees lower temps! It was an easy, pleasant ride to niece Tasha’s house. What a pleasant afternoon with her, Jamie, and family.
Heading to New York on Sunday.

Glad you found some of the really good spots on the cross Vermont trail with a stop by the iconic round church. Good speed on your journey.
