Joes Pond to Walden, a Danville Bike Ride?

Cycling Route

Details
16.05 mi
1,560 ft
Starting in Danville this gentle climb up past Joe's Pond and towards Walden is a great way to get out and see some amazing views and enjoy some of Vermont's very best back roads. The ride follows the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail until you'll come to the the end (You could technically continue on much rougher rocks and some hard packed dirt for quite a long ways).
You will turn right head up to HWY 15 otherwise known as The Grand Army of the Republic Highway.

Yes.
It's a beatiful section of road that leads to the small almost town of Walden, VT. This is where the last 8 miles of warm up will come in handy as you ascend the gravel roads above Danville to amazing views and friendly neighbors. After a short flat section at the top you are ready for a nearly no pedal 3 mile ride back to Danville proper. There you will take the rail trail back to your car.
