VT-100 deserves its reputation as Vermont’s “must-do” road for motorcyclists. One Hundred is scenic, has a enough curves, sweepers, and straights to provide excitement, and offers good roadside stops and views. But VT-100’s strength is also its greatest weakness. Because it offers so much, the road draws a high volume of car traffic, especially on summer weekends and during the fall foliage season.

There are alternatives to the mini-van bumper follow-along of a VT-100 Saturday afternoon. Vermont routes 12, 14 and 110 offer north-south routes that can provide a more refreshing experience and offer riders new interests. These roads can be combined with VT-100 or each other to create loops that are varied, fun and unique.

The roads less traveled are:

• Part 1: VT-12
• Part 2: VT-14
• Part 3: VT-110

I hope these roads peaked your interest and get you off and onto the road less traveled.

EDITORS NOTE: If you’re not from Vermont your definition of “traffic” and ours will probably be different. All cars are considered “traffic”. Any cars that cannot be easily passed are considered “heavy traffic”.
