VT: Riding in Vermont, Part IV

In Irasville we turned westward on Rt 17 and up towards the Mad River Glen ski area. This route is used on the last stage of the Green Mountain Stage Race. The last KMs are challenging and while John was riding strong I was trying to avoid a cramp that I could feel coming on. The side of the road was marked with the KM markers for the KOM prize and to the finish line.
