Vermont’s weather goes through some pretty radical changes throughout the year. A cold winter, chilly spring, warm rainy summer and quick-to-follow autumn mean that there are a variety of conditions you may need to be prepared for when riding here. Low temperatures and frequent snowstorms are prohibitive to riding during the winter months, but it is possible to squeeze in some riding during the spring and fall. If doing so be sure to utilize a base and mid layer underneath some cold weather gear, so that you can stay warm and comfortable while on your bike. Keeping your neck warm can make a huge difference when riding in cold weather, and it is for this reason that I consider a neck warmer / balaclava to be an essential piece of low-temp riding gear (the latter does a great job of keeping your entire head and face warm in addition to your neck). No matter what time of year you are riding, always check the forecast before heading out and bring some rain gear with you if there is any chance of rain. During the summer it is rare but possible for the temperature to get into the 90’s. That being said, cool mornings and warm afternoons allow for comfortable riding with a four-season jacket / pant or similar gear setup.
Known for its ski resorts and other winter recreation areas, Vermont also has its share of outdoor attractions that are geared towards the warmer months. Mount Mansfield (the highest point in the state of Vermont) is surrounded by Mt. Mansfield State Forest, where you can enjoy the unique scenery both on and off your motorcycle thanks to the mountain roads and many hiking trails in the area. If in the city of Burlington you can rent a bicycle and go for a cruise on the Burlington Bike Path. Formerly a railway, this pedestrian and bike path runs along Lake Champlain giving access to several beaches and parks, all while giving you great views of the city and surrounding landscape. Moss Glen Falls is another one of Vermont’s top outdoor destinations. This roughly 3 mile out-and-back hike brings you to a picturesque natural waterfall hidden away in the forest. The hiking trail is accessed via Highway 100, a great route that brings you through many scenic areas of the state. For a glimpse into the past of Vermont’s farming history, visit the Billings Farm & Museum. Here you can walk the grounds of the living historical site and outdoor museum that is the Billings Farm. Vermont is home to a number of different museums that communicate the art, human history and natural history of the state and greater New England region. You can explore these many options by visiting the official Vermont tourism site.
