VMBA, Lawsons, and WAMBA are working together this year to host our third end-of-season party, now named the Season S’Ender! As with previous years, this event is all about celebrating the season that was and recognizing our incredible Members.

New for this year, we will kick things off with a stop of the Freehub PRESENTS tour on Saturday evening at the Pintangle Theater in Woodstock. This will be a great opportunity to view this season’s best riding films in an amazing venue and get excited to hit the trail on Sunday. Lawsons will also be there with some cold and tasty beverages, and we have some great Member Benefit lodging options, as well as camping at Saskidena Six (S6), for those interested in spending the night. See below for more details.

To kick the morning off right on Sunday, grab some food at the many great places in town or come by the S6 parking lot for Sexy Llama coffee and baked goodies courtesy of our friends over at Mascoma Bank. Sunday guided group rides at Aqueduct and Mt. Peg kickoff at 11 am, and for those interested in doing it all, Ranch Camp will be leading a Triple Crown ride that leaves from S6 and hits all the best riding spots in town.

Following morning rides, the main party at S6 gets going at 1 pm, including group party laps & free E-bike demos from Trek (First Stop Board Barn & The Wheelhouse), Specialized (The Boot Pro), Karbon Bikes, and Rutland City Bikes. New for this year, we’ll have two new activities! First we will be borrowing KMBC’s timing system from the Bike Bum Race series! WAMBA and VMBA will be setting up a timed section of Avery’s Interstate! We will have a special prize for the top 3 in their categories. Then secondly we will also have a kids bike race in the base area. See below for more details!

When you’re done pedalling, pick up your event tickets from the VMBA tent, which include free tacos from Trail Break, one free cold beverage from Lawsons Finest Liquids or Stowe Cider, and a raffle ticket. After a meal and a brew, consider picking up a few more raffle tickets and bid for the items you’re most excited to win – full list below. To wrap up the day, we’ll hear about a few season highlights from VMBA ED Nick Bennette and then pull raffle winners!

Don’t miss your chance to join us in a full day of fun, food, and community, and celebrate another amazing riding season in Vermont!
