Six Gaps of Vermont

[Raoul Duke]

Here a Picture of the Gaps:



Six Gaps Features:

* Approx. 132 miles riding distance
* Approx. 14,500 feet of climbing*
* Six major climbs ranging in 1300 to over 1900 feet net gain
* One moderate 500 foot climb through Granville Gulf
* Sustained grades of 20% to 24% on Lincoln Gap
* True loop – no backtracking or revisiting earlier points
* Can bail-out after 2 or 4 gaps
* Nice views from many of the gaps

Who wants to rent a few vans, hire some drivers, and do these gaps!

"Sustained grades of 20% to 24% on Lincoln Gap"

That's all I had to hear.

Sustained grades of 20% - 24%? Hello luge ride, nothxu standup on that. I can't slide that well.
Interested. I know another knucklehead, he's a standup nuub but highly skilled luge pilot, I'm sure he'd be down as well. He lives with me, so when he gets back from rubbing his face in his girlfriend's ##### or whatever it is they do over there I'll bring this up to him.

Anyone know pavement conditions? Nearby hospitals? Traffic conditions on an average Spring/Summer day?
A little far for me to scout but definitely looks worth it for the ride.
edit: reading the webbysite answered some of that for me.

edit: Uhhhh

I need to go change my pants.
Oh, and apparently some part of Lincoln Gap isn't paved (dirt)

Why did I not see this thread in the beginning of summer? I spent about 3 weeks in Vermont this summer on 2 different trips.
