True. Rte 7 up to Missiquoi reserve, across to Rte 2 and back down. I camp up there in the summer and do that ride often. Theres quite a bit of great routes up here in VT. Im spoiled in that aspect.

My kid has been at UVM for four years and I finally got a touring bike, now I blew a disc out in my back and am limited to short rides. Never fails, got a house rental in Stowe for graduation, couldn’t touch burly, rates get jacked.

If you happen around the Putney area, there is an old school BBQer, Curtis who runs Curtis Ribs. It is an outdoor area working out if an old run down bus and covered BBQ pit. Every weekend, that place is packed with bikers all summer long. Great food there too. Give him a google and check out the photos and reviews. Looks a little seedy until you figure out its a VT charm. Hes right off exit 4 on 91.

Buzz, you must have ridden to Cathedral of the Pines while in Ringe[wife likes to stop there on the weekend then go to Kimballs in Jaffrey] Be careful on RT17 into Waitsfield if that,s the way you are traveling[trucks cut all the sharp corners and switchbacks] Your destinations should get a good feel of Vermont[small state but tons of great riding]
What were the dates you planned? Maybe I,ll buy you a drink

Second the Kimball's recommendation... It's always my first stop every year on my annual NH pilgrimage.
But you said Vermont, so I'll just add my wife and I love visiting Manchester... That's where we spent our first anniversary though. Some nice bed and breakfasts in that area.
I will say though, Vermont isn't as nice as NH... You really can't beat the lakes region. Summer on Newfound is about as good as it gets.
Enjoy your time!

I go by here everyday-good suggestion--I will say tho, it,s not as good as it used to be, 10/15 years ago the ribs were great, everything is kinda bland now ,but still worth the experience

Get this, as you likely know it is a small town maybe 3,000 people when I was living there. I once got a piece of mailed addresses to my name, Rindge, NH + zip code. <-- The address did not even have my street name or number. And I still got the mail. LOL!!!! And if I wanted a pizza I would call a 5 digit phone number and I would get the pizza place. LOL

But personally I think Vermont is a little more beautiful than New Hampshire.
I was actually born and brought up in Massachusetts myself. Actually my wife as well. Eastern part of the state not Central or West. Massachusetts definitely has its upside but when it comes to politics............YUCK! Anyway...... thank you for the info.
