Road Scenery: 
|
Lots
of vistas, pretty farms and photo ops. Mountain ranges,
rolling hills, forests and valleys. Travels through Green
Mountain National Forest. Covered bridge after covered
bridge. It almost gets redundant. Lots and lots of cows,
and farms.

Road Quality:

Road
quality is fine, though you'll encounter lots of hills,
though not a lot of sharp turns. We encountered some sport
bike speed demons, but other than that, the ride was a really
relaxing.

Roadside Amenities: 
|
|
Tiny
towns, not a lot of stops for shops, except in Manchester,
which is quite a pretty town. You travel through the Green
Mountain National Forest for a hunk of this ride. There's
clusters of antique shops, and enough places to stop and
gas up, or grab a nosh; to satisfy your needs. Note: One
thing we noted was how much more depressed the rural areas
of New York are, as opposed to Vermont. Same sort of farmland,
and terrain, but a vast difference in quality of life for
the farmers. Vermont really promotes family farms, and it
shows.
