Hi Eric and thank you for your comment! So many nice places to ride in Northern Vermont. The Island line trail is especially good. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling Hi Steve, hope you had or have been enjoying your ride to Key West . TH-cam deleted my Key West video because of the music :( please let me know how the ride is going for you. Thanks
@@patstillriding1435 Hi Pat, finished the ride a few days ago. It was awesome. However, I wouldn't recommend anyone follow the East Coast Greenway trail through GA & SC. The roads are dangerous, many without any shoulder coupled with 60-70 mph traffic. Otherwise it was great. I started editing videos and will publish the first of many in about a week. Thanks
I never got to take the ferry over, they were doing construction. It was closed off, I snuck around. 😈. I hope to get there this year. Such a beautiful ride.
It's a beautiful ride. Make sure you check their website before you go. I recently heard the trail is closed until Memorial day 2021. Covid caused the closure.
I'll turn 75 this year and been riding bikes regularly for the 30 yrs or so, but my preference is mountain biking. No cars to run me over and many local trails to ride. Have you given dirt riding a try?
@@steveretiredandcycling Well, gravel roads is one way to ride dirt, but I was talking about mountain bike trails, where no cars/trucks are allowed (or would fit!), but dirt roads are a start. Here in Michigan we have man-made dirt trails as well as natural singletrack. The man-made trails tend to be "flow trails", where the climbing is less severe and the speeds are high - lots of fun!
Hi Steve, great video and beautiful trail! I just recently started cycling and have gotten totally addicted to it and obsessed with finding beautiful places to ride! This trail looks amazing and I really want to try it! I just bought a new road bike and it has relatively narrow road tires (700c x 25mm) I was just wondering if the gravel part of the trail is rideable and enjoyable on these kind of narrow road tires. Thanks!!!
Hi there, just saw your comment. Thank you for watching. The trail would be fine for your tires. If the ground is wet it may get a little squishy. Awesome trail, have fun, Steve
They finished fixing the causeway last summer. Hopefully in the Spring things will have changed. It's a beautiful day trip for sure. What bike do you ride on your tours? From Fairfield Vt. Take care, Al
Hi Al, I ride a Jamis Renegade Elite. It's great for light bikepacking. I will review it in an upcoming video (about 2 weeks from now). Love the Island Line trail. You also have other awesome trails in your area that I must ride next summer. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
Hi there and thanks for watching. I don't remember the length, its at least 6 miles. Many people walk the trail or part of it. Thanks and have a great day, Steve

Hey Stuart, that trail is one of a kind. Riding in the middle of Lake Champlain is special. Have a great day, Steve
Definitely a bucket list item! Amazing!
Hi Steve. Going to do the Island Line again this summer with friends, take care, Steve
This is a trail that is on my list and it looks like a beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Pat, we had a great time. The trail is incredible taking you to the middle of Lake Champlain.

My sister lives in Burlington, if it’s ever acceptable to travel again and visit family I’ll have to check it out
It's an awesome trail. Feels magical riding in the middle of lake Champlain.
Namjoon and I love it!
Thanks Tigs. It was a great ride. All the best, Steve

Hi Roger, just started riding dirt with my new Priority 600X. Lots of fun and safer, Thanks Steve

Does anyone know if there is a parking place at the other end on Grand Isle?
Hi Michael, not sure. Maybe someone else will answer
Can e-bikes ride out there?
Not sure. You could call a local bike shop in Burlington and ask the question. Thanks for watching and all the best, Steve

Where is the main parking lot to start the ride?
Hi there, it starts at the Austin Drive parking lot near downtown Burlington. You can find directions on Google maps. Thanks and all the best, Steve
@@steveretiredandcyclingdo you know is there parking at the other end on Grand Isle.
definitely a great trail but would be a billion times better if they relaid the tracks....
Nice
Thanks! Just saw your comment. Take care, Steve
How long is this beautiful trail? Can i just walk ii? Thank You

0;40 is that guys face buried in his phone? unbelievable this time we are living in. we are a nation hooked on digital narcotics
Agreed... And he was outside "enjoying" nature... Oh well, at least he wasn't riding while looking at his phone.
