Climb’s Start.
This is an unbelievably scenic and challenging climb. The two drawbacks to cycling Mt. Mansfield are (a) it is open only one day per year for an annual bike race to the top -- otherwise, no bikes allowed, and (b) it is gravel. The gravel is the lesser of the two drawbacks -- at least you can ride on it!
The road is through Stowe Mountain Resort, Vermont.
