Day 1

63 miles, 6k feet of climbing, resupply at Powers Market, in East Arlington, in Winhall and Rawsonville.

Note for all my entries on VTXL: I rode this 3 years ago and don't have a good memory of how many class 4 sections I encountered on each day. If you're curious to ride the route - and you should ride it because it's amazing - just know you'll have multiple class 4 sections everyday. For day 1 northbound, know that very close to the end you'll have a very long single-track section that will culminate in an excruciatingly long single-track descent.
