For Years, commercial bicycle tours have skirted this area, keeping to the paved roads. Yet the interior of this region, criss-crossed by unpaved roads, beckons to those of us who dare to keep on going when the pavement stops. Mountain bikes and hybrids make this possible.
This is a nice loop that combines easy riding with spectacular view connecting two communities - Troy and Newport Center - that have stores where provisions may be bought. All the while, Jay Peak keeps vigil over your progress.
