I'm headed to Northern Vermont for four days of riding Labor day weekend.  Hopefully I'll have a info on a bunch of good roads, but will be able to avoid the worst ones..

So, before I go, Tim's post prompts me to ask; anyone know of any roads up through Vermont that I probably will want to avoid ?

TIA

We discovered some great roads, some good roads and some must avoids. Figured I would
briefly share them with you.

Roads to avoid:

Route 302 from Barre to Portland, it took us 6 hours to go 200 miles!!! The traffic and
tourists were horrible.

Almost all of Route 1 in Maine, especially in Freeport, Camden, and Wiscasset. We found a
good way to get around Camden, take a left on Main Street in Rockport, at the end take a
left, at the end take right on 235 to Hope. Then quick right on 105, then follow 52 to
Belfast, it's a nice ride and cuts out a lot of traffic.

Great rides.

Rangeley Lakes are amazing, lots of sweepers, 55 MPH speed limits and no traffic or LEOs.
Be aware there is limited gas so fill up before your leave the last major town. Route 17
from Mexico to Rangeley Lake is awesome, it is 40 miles of one sweeper after another with
no traffic. Twist the throttle and enjoy.

Route 32 from outside of Augusta to Permaquid Point is a great road to the coast. Lots of
good turns but a little bumped up and there is some traffic. Come back out via 130 to
129 to Damariscotta.

Route 175 to Route 176 in Blue Hill is a great coastal ride. Fantastic road and very little
traffic for the coast, plus Blue Moose in Blue Hill is a great restaurant.
