Dirt/gravel roads in VT are commonplace. In winter, the surfaces get smoothest - due to packed ice/snow. When they thaw out - muddy ruts. Eventually they will dry out and get graded to "fix" them. This time of year, depending upon the washboards, may get another grader pass. Inbetween gradings, sometimes the roads get nicely smooth. Just have to deal with the surfaces with different bikes.
