Roam n’ Ride: Vermont

Get ready for three unforgettable days in Vermont’s Green Mountains — where crisp air, fiery foliage, and epic trails come together for one hell of an autumn adventure.

Ride with legends. Roam with purpose.
Whether you’re leaf-peeping from the driver’s seat of your van or chasing downhill mountain biking thrills, this weekend is designed for riders and roamers. We’ll basecamp just outside the charming town of Killington and roam through some of Vermont’s most beautiful places — from purpose-built bike trails to winding country roads.

Joining us during the weekend:

• Brice Shirbach, a Pivot Cycles athlete, pro rider, and storyteller with 13+ years of professional experience exploring trails across North America.
• Joe Gaynor, Programs & Partnerships Director at Vermont Mountain Biking Association (VMBA), who brings trail knowledge and deep Vermont roots.
