Route 17 - MAD RIVER GLEN - By Guest

One additional comment about the Gap Road. This is indeed the finest super-twisty riding in VT - many travel from throughout the NE on weekend rides to enjoy it. To do this properly, one should really begin at the junction of t 17 with 116 in Starksboro, and ride over the Gap, then right onto German Flats Road, right again at the Sugarbush Access Road, to end at the base of Sugarbush's Lincoln Peak, Reverse and repeat. The other commentors are correct that this is a road that sees accidents. you will see numerous peg-drag marks on the lower opening turns on the Starksboro side. Nearly every turn is blind, and cars do not necessarily stick their line. If you are in it for sport riding, show up at 6am on a weekend and share the road with the Porsche drivers : ) Ride safe.
