This route takes you south out of Bristol on VT-17 and loops back on VT-125 just east of the Champlain Bridge to NY. Following VT-17 south from Bristol, the ride heads out on rolling country roads. The road has a nice view of the Adirondacks and mixes in some sweepers. You'll pass the Otter Creek Wildlife Refuge area and VT Sky Diving in Addison. VT-125 has some nice twisty bits at the beginning (i.e. closer to the Champlain Bridge) as it heads back towards Middlebury. Following VT-125 through Middlebury can be a bit of challenge. Just keep looking for the signs. VT-125 heads east just south of the A&W Drive-In, which is a good place for a burger and some real A&W. Head up VT-116 through some nice sweepers held together with 1/2 to 1/4 mile long straights.
