6 days or riding. About 380 miles with 28,000 ft. of climbing, including one day with 7,000 ft.
The little red market you see is totally on the honor system.

Hey thanks for sharing that, was a nice break from a bad day at work. I've made a few trips to VT recently but not taken the bike with me. Would love to do some riding there someday, especially down Lake Champlain through the islands.

If you will be going east-west, bring some gears. Most people had tripples. Some of the hammerheads who didn't had to walk the tops of Middlebury and Rochester Gaps. I ran a 34x28. Never walked, but was reduced to 3 mph in places. My GF ran a 39x25. She's a petite 5' and can climb. It was discouraging watching her disappear into the distance on long climbs. Hills usually doesn't phase her, but even her legs were sore.
