SUMMARY:Ride to Rebuild - Major Storm Recovery Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:After an historic storm dropped 8+” of rain across VT\, affected communities are working to recover their lives and livelihoods. Vermonters have  stepped up and offered support in more ways than one to those affected. It has been uplifting to see so many people come together to help.  \nSeveral years ago\, VMBA recognized the potential for major storms to cause significant damage to the trail systems our Chapters steward\, establishing the Major Storm Recovery Fund (MSRF). Over time and in large part thanks to individual donors\, we’ve managed to set aside funds our Chapters can access to quickly bring trails back online in the wake of a catastrophic event like we just experienced. Given the widespread nature of the damage\, however\, the initial estimates conducted by impacted Chapters suggests an additional $30\,000\, at minimum\, is needed to implement necessary repairs across the State.  While we continue to support community-focused recovery from the flood\, VMBA is also seeking to raise these needed funds. \nOn August 9th\, we’re getting together with some of our favorite partners  to help us raise funds for our MSRF and have fun while doing so. VMBA\, Bolton Valley and Zero Gravity will be hosting Ride to Rebuild. Join us from 4 – 8 pm for Rocky Mountain Altitude and Instinct demos\, incredible raffle prizes\, live music\, cold beverages\, and group rides!  \nTo help us reach our goal\, Bolton Valley will be donating 50% of ticket sales and Zero Gravity will donate $1 of each Zero Gravity beverage sold that day to the MSRF.  \nMore VMBA partners from this season wanted to get involved as well and have donated some incredible prizes for our Ride to Rebuild Raffle!Look below for a selection of these awesome items – with all raffle proceeds going to the MSRF. \n  \nWe hope you’ll join on August 9th and come together to raise money for the trails! \n  \nRaffle Partners: \nKuat Rack NV Base 2.0 \, 2 bike\, black\, 2″ ($749 msrp) – Provided by Richmond Mountain Trails!! \nVelocio ($300 Gift Card) \nMola Kit! \nFive Ten (Pair of shoes of your choice) \nJulbo Eyewear (Pair of Fury mtb glasses) \nWTB – XC Tires! \nMotorex (cleaning kit and lube)Bolton Valley (Lift tickets) \nCabot Cheese ($75 Gift Pack) \nZero Gravity (Assorted Prize Pack) \nSram (assorted branded items) \nKate’s Real Food (assorted bars) \nKryptonite (Locks) \nRocky Mountain (Assorted Prize Pack) \nMORE TO COME! \n  \nBolton Valley Green Means Go Deal (Weds – Friday):  \n$25 Half Day Lift Tickets (Noon to 3:30 and 3:30 to 7:30 – lifts get earlier as sun sets earlier) \n$60 Standard Half Day Bike Rentals \n$80 Performance Half Day Bike Rentals

SUMMARY:Slab City Challenge
DESCRIPTION:After assessing trail conditions after the very wet last month we’ve experienced in Vermont\, and as we’ve seen things start to dry out a bit\, we’ll still be hosting Slab City Trail Challenge August 12th! The route this year will be modified to work around the current trail washouts in certain critical connections. Stay tuned for the route update on August 1st and some final details about the event as we’ve adapted things to make sure we can host a wheelie awesome fundraiser for Ridgeline’s Youth Mountain Bike Programming! \n  \nRegistration is open! \nGeneral Info: Join us for an EPIC Randolph mtb adventure\, the Slab City Trail Challenge! This second annual fundraiser for the Ridgeline Outdoor Collective’s Youth Program will take you across virtually all of the Randolph area trail network. The roughly 20 mile adventure will start and finish at The Gear House and link up classic single track\, local favorites\, flow trail and some spicy new downhills. Choose your own adventure\, or ride the full course!  ALL profits will be put directly to Ridgeline Outdoor Collective’s Youth Program to foster skills and stewardship among the youth in our cycling community to keep building the stoke for years to come. \nSlab City Background: Are you wondering where the term Slab City comes from? Back in the late 1800’s Randolph was referred to as Slab City because of its robust lumber industry. It still has a few small mills that supply locally sourced lumber for the community. In addition\, local mtb guru Paul Rea ran Slab City Bike and Sports in Randolph when Vermont mountain biking took off in the early ‘90s. Randolph hosted the New England Mountain Bike Festival for 5 years in the 90s and helped lay the groundwork for Vermont’s amazing mountain biking scene we all love today! We have enjoyed bringing back the spirit of slab city and look forward to our second year this summer\, August 12! \nStay up to date with all of the Slab City Trail Challenge information by following Ridgeline Outdoor Collective on Instagram and Facebook!
