So far, so good. Today was a good start. A relatively short day, a little hectic getting out of Burlington, but beautiful views of Lake Champlain throughout the day’s ride.
Following the bike path (another rails to trails conversion) we rode north through and out of Burlington. We took a bike ferry to cross Lake Champlain. The bike ferry is operated by a great local bicycling/pedestrian organization, Local Motion.
You always notice things on a bike you would never pay attention to in a car. Part of what I love most about riding.
Stopped at Snow Farm Vineyard and Winery for lunch and a wine tour. Snow Farm was Vermont’s first vineyard and winery which sprung out of a desire to keep the land agricultural. They have a very interesting story you can read about on their website.
Tonight we are at the North Hero House after an easy and enjoyable day on the bike. For the day, I rode 33 miles, average speed of 12.3.
We had a great dinner here as a group, will meet for breakfast at 8am then head out for 52 miles (or less if we choose).
Onward.
