It is a picture of a huge sprawling farm that was on the road at the very beginning of our ride. Really beautiful Vermont countryside all day, every single mile.....and there were some climbs, but there were also some really decent downhills. My speedometer registered over 30 mph at different points. I got even more sunburned, even though I had sunscreen and we started out earlier. The weather was perfect and cool, so if you stopped (as I did often!) you got cool really fast, and even the first quarter mile after you stopped was cool.
Just so I'll remember...we rode the loop from Shelburne to Hinesburg and back up Shelburne Falls Road. It's a ride I would do again if we came back here -- probably my favorite ride so far this trip even though it was very tough. Some parts of it were sketchy with the traffic on a country road, but most of the ride was really peaceful. AND -- the best little cafe -- Good TImes Cafe -- in Hinesburg where we had GOURMET, from scratch panini -- chicken parm for me and Italian meatball for Craig. We both had salads with homemade dressing that was awesome. It's so funny to find that kind of food out in the middle of nowhere. Next Wednesday they are having a band -- but we won't be here.
When we got back we showered and went back to the Shelburne again to see the Circus Barn -- two huge hand carved circuses -- absolutely amazing -- and also a private rail car from the early 20th century, commercial vehicles like stagecoaches, conestoga wagons, mail carriages, sleighs, and looms. Then they closed.
Tomorrow we pack and go on to Maine -- hard to believe. Vermont has been fun.
