VT gravel road

NEK Ridge Views is a lovely gravel ride in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with approximately 60% dirt roads, including both maintained and about 5 miles of unmaintained/Class 4 roads.  These quiet, rural roads will be through wooded or farming areas, with frequent wonderful views - first up in Sutton, then Sheffield and later in Newark.  We will be climbing a lot, but it will be worth it.
