I would take 30 straight through manchester and continue north on 22a. It parallels 7 but is a much more scenic route in my opinion. Still, there is fast traffic on these roads.
from Vergennes north to Burlington I don't have any experience with
The first 10-15 miles past Manchester would be the worst part, cycling through the Dairy Farms (the liquid fertilizer is tough to get used to

)
