Tours are limited to six cyclists with each ride designed between 15 and 40 miles, off the main roads with extremely low traffic, and magnificent scenery.

Tour Areas
Vermont Countryside
The countryside surrounding Stowe and Smugglers Notch is some of the most beautiful for riding in all of Vermont, with green rolling hills, farms with old red barns, grazing cows, twisting rivers, storybook towns and unrivaled mountain views.
Lake Champlain Islands
The Lake Champlain Islands are South Hero, North Hero, Isle La Motte and Grand Isle, and has been aptly named The Beauty Spot of Vermont. Ride next to the water with views of Vermont’s beautiful Green Mountains or New York’s amazing Adirondacks.
Green Mountain Climbs
The Green Mountains of Vermont offer some incredible ascents including Middlebury Gap, Appalachian Gap, (with a spectacular summit view of Lake Champlain), and also, both sides of the challenging and breathtaking Smugglers Notch.
