should have ridden last weekend....went all the way up to burlington and the weather couldnt have been better. i was thinking about doing it again this coming weekend but the forecast doesnt look too promising. i just might be in if it decides to be nice out.

Hey. I'd be down to go for a saturday ride. I'm in the burlington area. I'd love to hit up the Ap Gap.

Let me know.

Love to but I just got back today from at 750 mile 3 day ride. Plus, I have duty next weekend. Have fun if ya go.

I wish. Vermont rules!

Is there any good twisties up there though? I was in back and forth between Burlington and Boston last month and everyone said to ride the Kankamungus Hwy in N.H., but honestly I was disappointed.

vermontzx6r

lots of twisties up here

kanka is a nice ride but its a 4th gear rip.

on the other side of the river we've got some great 2nd gear routes through the mountains

I wish I went last weekend. It would have been much better than watching the Patriots get killed by the Dolphins!

It looks like I'm going to Loudon on Sunday, so I won't make it up to Vermont this weekend. I might still go for a local N.H. ride Saturday.

Yeah route 17 in Vermont is the real deal. what are some of the other roads that compare to 17?

bundleofgrundle

amen to that. i watched the first quarter of the game at a friends house and decided to get back on the road...it was ugly.

are you doing a track day up at louden? not to be pesimistic but the forecast this weekend looks about as bleak as possible...which kinda sucks considering that good riding weekends are getting harder to come by considering the temps. anyway, it would be nice to all meet up for a group ride before the white stuff starts falling.

17 (app gap) is as good as it gets. I skip class weekly to ride it, and then i'll go up and over, turn around and hit it again. Just watch out for the first turn from the west-wicked gravel strewn.


I'm down for a saturday ride. Let me know!

108 (smugglers notch) is REALLY narrow and tight and anytime after 7am you get cagers coming into your lane. Its very slow, just a put put, first gear all the way with stock-hawk gears

bundleofgrundle

I've drivern 108 before but havent had the chance to get the hawk on it yet. That is super twisty...almost too twisty and narrow to have much fun on...

whats the southern most point you can pick up 17?

vermontzx6r

17 runs east west, if you're coming from NH the eastern most point is really in waitsfield. To get to waitsfield take Exit 3 (royalton/south royalton) take 107 west for like a mile, then get on 12 N for like a mile, then bang a left on Camp Brook Road aka bethel mountain road. That takes you to VT 100, which runs N-S down the whole state. Head north on 100 until you come to the 17 jtc.

More simple but also requiring backtracking would be to get off exit 9 (middlesex) and take 100B south to 100, continuing south to the 17-100 junction in waitsfield.

anyone coming up today???

Sorry but the weather is really shitty today!

That's great that the weather held up for you. It was raining here in Manchester all day and heading up your way.
