Another ride after work and exploring the roads around Rutland. I took the Waltly to the shop to have another spoke replaced and went out today on Surly. I rode in an neighborhood north of RT 4 and found some Ski culture, which is big in Rutland and the surrounding areas.
I rode out Stratton Road again and then took East Clarendon Road south.
Rode past the airport which has one commercial flight a day to Boston.
An interesting hill top that is called Round Hill, ya think?
Middle Road and it's really straight.

Crown Point Road Marker
The Crown Point Road, or the Crown Point Military Road, is a historic road built in 1759-60, mostly in what is now the United States state of Vermont. It was built by British Army and colonial militia forces to connect Fort Crown Point near the southern end of Lake Champlain to the Fort at Number 4 in what is now Charlestown, New Hampshire. It was the first major road in Vermont, spurring development along its route after the French and Indian War. Fragments of the road are still visible in largely period condition, or have been paved over, while others have disappeared into the forest. Sections of the road located in Weathersfield have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
