Brian and Jon head to Vermont for their first bike packing adventure, tackling the Green Mountain Gravel Growler route they came across on BikePacking.com. Initially expecting to complete the ride in four days, with three nights of camping, see how long it takes Brian and Jon to ride all 250+ miles and climb all 20,000+ feet, while climbing up to the highest paved road in Vermont on 40-pound bikes and enjoying great food, foam and foliage.

Awesome Hammer. Day 2 very impressive. Loved seeing this for my plan...

Glad you enjoyed it! Look forward to doing this trip again and again.

- That Lincoln Gap climb was no joke. Nice job guys. - 250.5 miles/ 22,129 feet of climbing - You guys did it 3, days. I’d probably do it a week 😂 - thanks for sharing

that climb was brutal! thanks for watching

I'm absolutely loving this video on this rainy Oct 30th day I'm from Western Massachusetts and ride single track and gravel on my diverge pro all over the place and watching you guys is a reflection of what I do on a daily but don't feel like doing it today in the rain so this is a great substitute thanks for the great video

we did a 5 day bikepacking loop and hit some sections of the VGG. Vermont really spoils you for any future routes!

Those rocky hill needs a fat bike with platforms. 😅 Loved this video guys. Saw some very familiar roads in which I ride. 👍

@ItsJustAHill Год назад

thanks for watching! new 2022 version coming soon! what a great area to ride in.

@tunic 2 года назад

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

public parking lot at the corner of Roosevelt Highway and Hercules Dr. 44°30'39.8"N 73°10'48.3"W

@johnzelig234 2 года назад

You guys rock. Impressive in 3 days and rain! We did an abridged version from Stowe and circling back through Elmore. Hillstead Farm Brewery is a must.

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

Thanks, can't wait to do another trip like that sometime soon!

@Nicky_Pin_It 2 года назад

Awesome vid! I was researching this ride the other day, i wanted to try it on my fatbike but might after seeing this i might want something a little faster rolling. Back to the drawing board...

Where are your spots to pitch your tents?

@ItsJustAHill Год назад

we spoke with a local establishment that let us camp out back for night one, and found a public park for night two.

@salmonella508 2 года назад

I will be doing the cross New Hampshire, cross Vermont trail westbound in a week. I was thinking about going off course at Montpelier and either taking the north end of this loop or the south end and going back to Montpelier. I don’t have time to do all of it so you can you tell me which half of the loop was your favorite. Thanks

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

We suggest the north end. Up by Craftsbury and Greensboro is absolutely gorgeous and probably some of the best views on the full loop. Enjoy!!

@farbeyonddriven2876 2 года назад

Well Done! I'm new to bike packing and basically taking my backpacking stuff and strapping it on my bike. I assume you used an app to follow the trail? If so which one? Also was the trail well marked? THX in advance.

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

We downloaded the GPX track from Bikepacking.com and followed along on our head units. Brian has a Wahoo and Jon uses a Hammerhead

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

Full route details here: bikepacking.com/routes/green-mountain-gravel-growler/ The route is not fully marked, although some trails are marked in places.

@robertmcmillan7746 2 года назад

Nice trip/vid. What size tires were you on?

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. I was running 37 Riddlers and Brian had a set of 40 Maxis Ramblers. - Jon

@christianhuber4054 2 года назад

Sick video man, love to see it. Production was top notch! Would I be insane to try this route on 26-28mm tires lol? Probably panaracer gravel king sk's..really want to ride it but only have a road bike currently. Thinking I could re route to avoid class 4 roads and some single track..would love to hear your thoughts

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for watching. I do think 26-28s would be pushing it a bit, unless you really avoided all of the more technical stuff. Not impossible, but might turn it into more of a ride on tarmac, rather than mostly gravel. At least the bike would be slightly lighter with those skinnier tires! ha. Let us know if you have any more questions, and good luck with your adventure. - Jon

@kotylewis6400 2 года назад

Which GoPros and bike mounts were you guys using?

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

We used a GoPro9 Black, GoPro8, along with some iPhone footage. Non-branded mounts were purchased online and attached to our handlebars. This was one of the mounts: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0789LSSL1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@xsexystudmuffinx 2 года назад

You guys are hilarious... the "420 calories, 69 miles yesterday 😜" and the "pickled onion.. I mean pickled egg, that's not an onion". Oh the, "looks like he's up there ranting to his gopro too... *cuts to him ranting to his gopro*..." Amazing stuff, great editing. I enjoyed it thoroughly and maybe one day I'll get the chance to get out to the northeast and ride this one.

@ItsJustAHill 2 года назад

lol, thanks for watching. It is truly an amazing route and we recommend it to anyone looking for their next bike adventure.
