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!

Midi: 70km More miles, more adventure, more smiles
Hundo: 100km Lots of gravel, rolling hills, and three (3) covered bridges!
All routes are supported and maps will be provided before the event.
After the ride, join us for a party with live music, local food, a pie contest, drinks (NA options too), friends, and stories from the ride. Whether it’s your first fondo or your fiftieth, the Fall Fundo is a day to remember.
Old Spokes Home is a non-profit bike shop. We create access to bicycles and the opportunities they provide for our whole community.

Stowe Trails Partnership is thrilled to present Vermont’s favorite autumn mountain bike tradition: the 14th annual Leaf Blower Fall Classic Mountain Bike Festival! This year’s Leaf Blower will be held on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, and will be hosted at Strawberry Hill Farm. With amazing riding for all ability levels, awesome vendors, homegrown food, local libations, and live music, there is no better way to cap off the season than with this one-day community bike bash.
As always, the marquee draw will be the rides, tackling some of the northeast’s best terrain and affording some of Vermont’s most epic views—whether you love endurance or are new to riding, we have a singletrack loop for you that’ll pass multiple aid stations and maximize the fun!
After you’ve gotten your fill of single-track, join us back at Strawberry Hill Farm for a variety of food trucks; some brews and beverages; music, and a vendor village full of local businesses. Your registration fee covers the rides, vendor garden, aid station snacks, a post-ride beverage, and a food truck dinner.
Be sure to register early – we expect the event to sell out. The Leaf Blower is STP’s biggest fundraiser of the year, so we appreciate your participation! Ticket pricing below, and don’t forget to add your Leaf Blower shirt to your order. Pre-orders must be purchased by September 20th, 2025!
