Hi, this is Marcia and Chris. We have been biking all the 251 towns on Vermont back roads on gravel bikes. This is our website which shares our progress, including each ride’s GPS mapped route, public on STRAVA, so you can follow in our bike-tracks.

It is a labor of love. Enjoy! Chris and Marcia

We are currently at 216 towns and counting.

Nearly there!!

Keep checking back to see our progress!

Above is our 251 Club monitor map where we record our progress. As you can see, we still have a lot of exploring to do!

“The 251 Club of Vermont, established in 1954, is an organization of Vermont enthusiasts whose objective is to visit the 251 towns and cities in Vermont.” *

We joined the 251 Club of VT in August 2021, and use their VT251.com website to register and log our progress, checking off the towns as we add them to our list of finished rides.

The Road Less Traveled

I shall be telling this with a sigh;

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
