Under 14, they need parental consent if they aren't accompanied; after 14, it isn't strictly required, though still recommended. It really depends on which country you're heading to.

The biggest climb would be near Smalltown, USA, sitting at about 300 meters, so the terrain is mostly flat with just a few small hills. Going through Stowe takes longer and the terrain is more demanding.
Have you actually ridden it? The mileage is roughly the same, around 62 miles because once you pass Smalltown, USA, you have to take side roads to reach the destination, since the road leading to the interstate is off-limits for bikes—I saw the sign when I was passing through by bus or car recently. I know the way to Stowe; it isn't particularly hilly. I'm not sure about the stretch afterward, but looking at the map, it seems fine as you pass through an intersection in Smalltown, USA. Either way, both routes are worth a shot.🙂
