A nice stretch of gravel road — nothing stressful to ride. It ties into the Cross-Vermont Trail and the Montpelier Bike Trail.

This is a highly walkable town (population about 5,300) that caters to foodies and outdoors enthusiasts. High points include the local shops, restaurants, mountain biking trails and the nearby Waterbury Reservoir, a few miles north of the road.

The Winooski West Path is a 2.6-mile paved multiuse trail that follows along the scenic Winooski River through a mix of forest and urban landscapes. This trail is perfect for walking, biking, and running, as it's mostly flat with views of the water the entire way. It's easily accessible from downtown, making it an ideal spot for a relatively short hike—whether you're taking a lunch break or simply want to spend an hour enjoying a stroll along the beautiful waterfront.

Built in 1855, Pine Brook Covered Bridge stands now as it did nearly 180 years ago. Unlike other covered bridges in Vermont, this one hasn't required any reinforcing and will happily take you and your bike across the water, as it would have done for cyclists all that time ago.

This steep section of trail takes you up/down from the summit of Mount Hunger. Following the blue blazes, you must traverse steep sections of slabby granite rock and through short stunted pine trees. This is a fun, but sometimes wet and icy portion of the Middlesex Trail, so use caution and, as always, check conditions before heading up.
