Day 5: The Easy Day[tm]

A bit of a breather today. Plus, a new route. A bit longer than previous years since the overnight was Montpelier, not Northfiield, moving those 12 miles from day 4 to 5.  A mostly flat day, or as flat as it gets in Vermont, ending with a 1000-foot climb of Mt. Killington over the last five miles, which is decidedly NOT flat. Then it’s time to clean bikes and hit the pool.

We’d love to have you come out and urge us on.

Below are links to maps and schedules for Day 5, Wednesday, July 15, 2009.
