Dartmouth Cycling Wiki | Rides / Devil Goat Loop

The DevilGoat-- what is it? where is it? should I be afraid? Should I bring an offering? Or is it just an urban legend?

In fact, the "DevilGoat" refers to a pretty sweet climb off of the Justin Morill Highway. To get there, turn right off of that road a mile or two after you pass Strafford. The road climbs a fair bit, and the true path can be a bit difficult to follow. All in all, the road takes you from strafford to 113, kind of near Lake Fairlee.

So why is it called DevilGoat? Along the road, there resides the most evil-looking goat. It has four horns, two pointing up, two pointing down. It also seems to have a harem, and prodigious number of children. Definitely the alpha male in the pack.
