BURLINGTON VERMONT RIDEBurlington Vermont is the largest City in the State. With a population of slightly over 40,000, it might seem small, but if you include the whole metropolitan area, which consists of three counties, it really has over 200,000. This is almost one third of the population in the entire state. It is located in the Northwestern portion of the state and is a little over 90 miles from Montreal, Canada. This was an excellent destination to plan a day-ride to from Rutland, Vermont.

I arrived in Rutland, Vermont on a stormy Wednesday evening on July 13, 2011. After an excellent nights sleep at the Highlander Motel on US 7, I decided to take the day and explore central Vermont. I call this ride the Burlington Vermont Ride.
Vermont in the summertime is beautiful and I was lucky to have just one of those days. It was a bright sunny day and the sky was perfectly clear. The morning temperature was cool enough for me to need my leather jacket, but the afternoon was just the perfect temperature for my sleeveless shirt. The ride will take you through the heart of the Green Mountains and you'll see beautiful landscapes, rivers, and towns. Click Play Button In Center Of Image To Watch Video
