Vermont: Middlebury Countryside & The Lake Champlain Coast
Cycle Vermont’s bucolic vistas at the pace that suits you. Prolonged stays at just two inns—one historic gem dating to 1827 and one waterfront resort—allow you to explore pastoral countryside and scenic lakesides as you wish, riding past classic red barns, timeless silos and sweeping fields grazed by dairy cows. With the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks watching over, you pedal the picture-perfect farmlands of the Champlain Valley, inspiration to generations of writers and artists. Absorb the small-town charms of Middlebury, Vergennes and Bristol. Take refreshing dips in Lake Dunmore and Lake Champlain. Ride under the canopy of state forests. Among bike tours in Vermont, this relaxed self-guided itinerary is truly special.Tour Highlights

This is my first VBT bike tour and it did not disappoint, starting from sign up to finish. Chris our contact person in Vermont was so helpful, going out of his way to make sure our seats/bikes worked the best for us. The routes that were chosen were beautiful with interesting stops along the way and the lodging very nice. Ride with GPS worked really well, once we got the hang of it. We really like the freedom of the self-guided tour, along with VBT's organization.
Vermont: Middlebury Countryside & The Lake Champlain Coast
My wife and I recently completed a VBT tour in Vermont in the Middlebury and Vegennes area. We were looking for cool weather, the changing of the leaves and fresh air to breathe and relax. All was provided and the trip exceeded all our expectation. The accomodations were excellent. The others on the tour were so nice and the host, Gerry, was just great, going beyond what would be expected. I highly recommend this tour and Vermont Bike Tours. They took great care of us.
