Here’s how this page works, if the article is labelled Review, it is an honest and critical look at a given product. It can mean explaining everything from why a product is a complete failure to an amazing can’t live without part of the experience and everything in between.
if it’s labelled Recommended Places, it because we reviewed and gave it our thumbs up. We require each recommended place to get at least a 4 star (out of 5) review. We are local to Barre, we patron these places often. If there is a listing here that ever falls below our Recommended Places expectations we’ll remove it from the page.
Our goal is to be a reliable and trusted resource.
Any time you travel it can be difficult to find familiarity and reliability. We hope you’ll find both when you choose to center your bicycle adventure around Barre, VT. We want to share with you our first hand experiences with everything from products to amenities like restaurants, coffee shops, places to stay, and places to restock outdoors supplies in our area.
