October 2024 – Progress on the Quest

Posted on October 19, 2024

I’m still working on my quest to bike every town in Vermont. The website says I have visited 225 towns (which includes the newest one (Essex Junction City). I’m not sure if that means I have 26 or 27 to go. Is my goal 251 or 252 towns?

All but one of the missing towns are in south-central Vermont, in or near the Green Mountains. Somehow I missed Isle LaMotte when I visited the Champlain Islands a few years ago! I’m planning to take at least one major bikepacking trip to the area next year; there is a remote possibility of finishing up in 2025, although I will be 79 next summer.
