VMBA Member Party
2023-10-28 11:00 - 21:00 | Saskadena Six Ski Area, 247 Stage Rd, South Pomfret, 05067
What a wild season it’s been! From an early dry start to the wettest summer on record, we’ve poured our hearts into our local communities and the trails we steward. To show our appreciation to all our amazing members, volunteers, and partners, we’re throwing a Member Party and Season Celebration at Saskadena Six!
This isn’t just any party; it’s a riding party! Starting at 11am, we’ll kick off the day with group rides departing from the Mt. Peg & Aqueduct trailheads, led by VMBA, WAMBA, WTB, Velocio, and Julbo. Check below and on Eventbrite for all the details.
At 2pm the party begins in earnest at Saskadena Six. The trails will open back up to the general public and we’ll have free E-bike demos from Specialized and Bosch, available alongside our Chapters’ tents next to the S6 base lodge. At 3:30pm, VMBA will lead intermediate and advanced group rides from the base. Be sure to register for the group rides through Eventbrite. We want to make sure we have a headcount and don’t leave without you!
As the sunlight wanes and after everyone’s had their fill of riding, we’ll head into the base lodge for food and fun. Starting at 4:30pm, swing by the VMBA welcome tent to collect your food & beverage ticket. We’ve teamed up with Trail Break, Lawsons, and Stowe Cider to treat every VMBA member to two tacos of your choice and a complimentary adult beverage.
At the VMBA welcome tent, you can also grab your raffle tickets for the evening. We’re giving away a RockShox fork, a year’s supply of Cabot cheese, Julbo sunglasses, a VT Huts trip package to Richmond, $300 Gift Cards to Velocio, FiveTen shoes, and more!
Inside the base lodge, we’ll also have partners from this season, music, and showcase some of the highlights from the past year. At 7pm, we’ll be screening a few short films that VMBA & Lawsons helped support, including a sizzle reel from Alex Showerman’s video “Coming Home” and full edit of Myles Trainer’s “Back to the Roots.” After these rad films, we’ll give a little year-in-review before we announce the latest round of Naming Grants, Rewards Volunteer Grand Prize winner, and the raffle drawing.
Make sure to secure your ticket for the event so we can plan accordingly!Tickets are limited and you must have one to attend. Don’t miss your chance to end the season on a high note!
For VMBA Members, your ticket to our epic Member Party is on the house! Come celebrate the season with us for free (ticket still required!). If you’re not a member, no worries – you can still join the party by becoming a VMBA Member or, if you prefer, you can grab a non-member ticket through Eventbrite and jump right into the fun! Tickets are $20 for adults ,$10 for kids 12 and under.
A major shout out to our partners that will be supporting us for this fun event! We couldn’t have pulled it off without Trail Break Food, Lawson’s, Stowe Cider, SRAM, RockShox, Mola Hoodies, FiveTen, Upstate Elevator, SDR Clothing Co., Vermont Federal Credit Union, Trash Co., Cabot, Julbo, and – of course – our Members!

About Spring Sprockets

What is Spring Sprockets & Walk-Its?

It’s a scavenger hunt scramble event for bikers and walkers of all ages and levels in Pine Hill Park. The family-friendly event runs from 10am to 1pm and benefits the Homeless Prevention Center. This year (our third) we’ll have music, snacks, prizes, a bike repair clinic, and plenty of other surprises!
So, what IS the scavenger hunt scramble exactly?
Bikers head up onto the rad network of mountain bike trails at Pine Hill Park, while walkers and joggers explore the walking loops and activities on the adjacent Giorgetti trails. Along both routes are buckets and pails for participants to put their chips in. (You get chips at the registration table). Everyone meets back up at the Giorgetti parking lot where those chips are drawn at random for prizes!
But I Loooove walking and riding, can I do more?
You bet! Before and after prizes, folks will be riding and walking the trails just for the fun of it! Bring friends to ride with or make new ones there. And…
…Stay for the Double Feature!
This year, our fantastic partners at Come Alive Outside are hosting their Jedi Trails event in the afternoon at the same location. Spring Sprockets from 10-1 / Jedi Trails from 1 to 3:30. Come and make a day of it with HPC and Come Alive Outside at Pine Hill Park!

WATA Gravel Grinder - 15th annual!
2024-05-05 08:00 - 15:00 | Waterbury, VT, 05676
WATA cannot wait to welcome you all back to our largest and most important fundraiser of the year! It’s always a blast and this year is going to be the best ever. All proceeds from the event directly support trail building, maintenance, and land stewardship in the Waterbury Area–Perry Hill & Little River State Park. They also help fund our long-range plans to link WATA trails to other local trail systems. So, come on out for a great day of riding and support the trails while you’re doing it!
NEW THIS YEAR – Route Signage: Riders this year will be expected to be more self-sufficient with route following than in previous years! A handlebar-mounted GPS or cell phone synced with your respective route is HIGHLY encouraged. This will help with some of the more confusing turns or where vandalism of route signs has occurred in the past. We will mark certain major intersections and have queue sheets to help with turn by turn directions/mileage if a GPS or cell phone isn’t an option for you. Also, our guide for any marked arrows is to only follow those arrows on the RIGHT side of the road (no pun intended).

More green space, more gazebos, and more fun. Routes remain largely unchanged and the detailed route maps will be available here by April 24, 2023.
Start Times: Big Grind Start – 8:30AM | Traditional Grind Start – 9:00AM | Traditional Run Start – Any time preferred (posted or earlier). There will be a cut-off for riders to begin the Big Grind from HQ along with a “last call” for food & drinks which all riders must be back by to guarantee those items.
Online registration: Includes a limited edition 2023 Gravel Grinder t-shirt, aid stations, and food and beverage tickets after the event. Register by May 1 to receive a t-shirt on the day of the event.
*We will be featuring the “Self-Guided Grind” ride again this year for anyone who might not be able to make the event or aren’t into big group events. We’ll map out the route for you and have a shirt waiting for local pick-up and you can complete the ride any time you’d like.
Routes
The Traditional Grinder: This route will be 28 miles with about 2800′ of climbing and lots of dirt winding through the hills of Waterbury. The route will be the classic to keep nostalgia high.
The Big Grind: A 47 mile route with 4900′ of climbing and gravelly goodness. Really want to test your early season legs? Stoked on the Traditional Grinder but want to see if you can push it a little farther? This one’s for you.
Refreshments
Pre-ride breakfast: STAY TUNED – some of your favorite amazing local shops will help get you fueled for the ride.
On the ride: We’re still kitting out the mid-ride aid stations, but we will make sure you are fueled for miles ahead.
Post-ride refuel: After the ride, we will be serving up a tasty and satisfying meal in partnership with some of the best local restaurants this side of the Mississippi. They’ve taken great care of us in the past and we’re stoked they’re back this year. Beverages will be provided by the Vermont Beer Shepherd.
This event obvsiously would not be possible without the many generous sponsors who are donating things to help keep our bellies full, keep us hydrated or rehydrate us, last minute mechanical help, or even just unlimited stoke for the season upon us. WE ALL THANK YOU!

VMBA Days Kick Off - Ranch Camp

VMBA is excited to kick off the new season of VMBA Days, presented by Fiddlehead! We’re debuting a bunch of new things to the series for its 4th season. We are super appreciative of our presenting sponsor Fiddlehead and can’t wait to see all the fun and tastiness they bring to our event series. We can’t wait to get this season started with some laps at Cady Hill and end our day at Ranch Camp!
We will be hosting two different MTB rides on May 19th. The first ride will be an intermediate ride through some of Cady Hills’ iconic trails, like Florence. We will take our time to enjoy the trails and not just hammer past things. Then we will be hosting a Ranch Camp Party ride. This ride will have a faster pace and set out on a mission to hit an iconic pit stop before coming back to Ranch Camp for the after-party. Both rides will gauge everyone’s abilities and come up with the best route and plan. Make sure to book your spot on Eventbrite.
While our event is going on, the ranger will be doing a gravel ride throughout Stowe. The plan is for us all to get back to Ranch Camp around 2/2:30 p.m. for an After-Party hosted by Fiddlehead. Special for this event is that we will have Mastermind on tap. We will also be doing a day of raffles from our VMBA Days Partners. Both proceeds from Mastermind sales and the raffle will go directly to Vermont Youth Cycling, VTYC! If didn’t snag a ride spot in time, come down for the After Party, anyone can join and help us raise money for VTYC.
Stay tuned for more details about each stop of the VMBA Days this season, but see below for our full 2024 schedule.

New to mountain biking: You feel proficient on a bike, but want to expand your comfort zone to trails. We’ll teach you the basics of riding single track.
Improve my mountain biking: You’ve been on a mountain bike before, but want to progress. This is the chance to progress your riding to the next level!

Reserve your spot today, as we have limited availability!

Riding for the Range - BV opening Weekend
2024-06-08 10:00 - 17:00 | Bolton Valley Resort, Bolton, 05477
Super excited for opening weekend of the Bolton Mountain Bike Park and we’ll also be donating 50% of lift ticket sales to Richmond Mountain Trails (our “home” VMBA chapter) this weekend. Care to join us?
Though our Mountain Bike Park benefits from being ensconced in several great local VMBA chapters, RMT’s really our primary home base thanks largely to the recent development of trails by RMT in partnership with the DesLauriers’ Driving Range property.
Have you checked out The Driving Range Adaptive Mountain Bike Trails yet? RMT’s done an amazing job building out these incredible trails accessible to all riders and we’re so thrilled to have them just 1.5 miles from our access rd (east on route 2 toward Waterbury).
Several ways to support their fine work:
– Make a donation
– Volunteer, like at one of their upcoming Wed trail nights for instance
– Add them as one of your local chapters on your VMBA membership
– Show up & show out this weekend with 50% of ticket sales going to RMT
– Attend their grand opening of a new trail built by Phil Kmetz (aka “Skills with Phil”) and Hailey Sarausky Sun 6/16
Vista Lift will run 10am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday this opening weekend (and every weekend through mid October for that matter). 5 day/week lift service begins Wed 6/26. Daily dirt report and trail maps to “Know Before You Go” can be found HERE.
Lift ticket rates:
$40 Full Day Adult
$30 Full Day Youth
$25 Half Day (All Ages)
$20 Trail only (no lifts)
$20 Scenic Lift Ride
Buy/Reload Lift Tickets Online or visit our Base Lodge Bike Shop this weekend and buy in person (we have bike rentals and instructors, too).
