Day 50- Brattleboro, VT

Today we were back to climbing! We entered Vermont, and we climbed two mountain passes. Vermont is absolutely gorgeous. This was one of my favorite days of the trip. We rode through a few small little towns that were just decked with cafes and coffee shops everywhere. I really didn’t want to climb any mountains today, so I was sure to stop in every little town on the way to waste time and drink coffee. This pic is the view from the top of the 2nd climb– absolutely beautiful.

Below is one of my favorite signs to see along the road–it has a truck on a downwards slant– a warning to them that a big downhill is coming and to slow down. These are almost always at the top of our tough climbs and we know that our downhill reward is coming soon!
