Forgot to mention that VT 113 between Goose Green/Chelsea Rd. and the tow of Chelsea was also freshly paved last year just before we rode it in August. It a great descent that was as smooth as glass. But you will have to do some climbing to get there. Chelsea/Goose Green Rd. is pretty with very little traffic.

Be careful going through Middlebury. I would not stay that long on U.S. 7/VT 125. Lots of traffic. Shortly after you merge with U.S. 7, bear right onto Lower Foote. Take that to Foote, bear left on Seminary then left on Washington. That will take you to the same place with much better riding conditions.

Previously I mentioned traffic near Bethel. It was VT 12 that had a lot of rush hour traffic.
