Where Did You Stay?:Friends
If hotel, which one?:You can camp for very little at the Vermont state park, Ascutney, located near Mount Ascutney, which has good car-camping facilities, like hot-water showers and fire rings/BBQ grills. Or you can stay at the Mount Ascutney ski resort (but book your rooms early as it fills up fast since there are literally hundreds of people who do the race!) There are some motels and B&Bs in the area as well. The nearby Skunk Hollow Tavern is an 18th century tavern worth a visit, good food and drink.
Would you recommend the hotel?:yes
How did you get to the start?:
How did you transport your bike? (if applicable):
Other Travel Comments:You\'ll need a car to get around rural Vermont and you should try to be dropped off at the starting line area at the Mount Ascutney ski resort\'s main lodge. There\'s enough parking, but there are hundreds of people who do the Vermont 50...it gets congested. Amtrak\'s station (take the Vermonter route) at Windsor is about a ten to 15 minute drive from the Mount Ascutney resort, but the train doesn\'t run very frequently.
