The Mad River Valley offers miles of spectacular road cycling. If you plan to spend some time here during the riding season, the following is a list of popular road rides, all starting from Stark Mountain Bike Works at the intersection of routes 100 & 17. It should be noted that cyclists and motorists do get along in the Valley. Visitors to the area are urged to help maintain this positive relationship with motorists by being courteous when out on the roads.
