Yeti Gathering - Kingdom Trails
2025-09-05 08:00 - 2025-09-07 17:00 | East Burke, Vermont
Yeti Gathering is a long-running tradition that began nearly 25 years ago. Beginning as a race season-ending party first held at Snowmass, CO, the Yeti Gatherings have become one of the most special traditions of Yeti Cycles, and a way to honor our Roots and Yeti Freaks.
For those who bleed Turq, the Colorado Gathering is an annual pilgrimage to share and honor our love for mountain biking, friends, family, revelry, and the great outdoors. We’ve come a long way from that first rowdy weekend in Snowmass, but the sentiment remains the same.
New for 2025, we’re taking the Yeti stoke on the road with our Regional Gatherings! Smaller, more intimate but just as epic, our Regional Gatherings are a reflection of our ever-growing Yeti Freak family.
Whether you’re a life-long ‘Freak’ or you just bought your first Yeti, it doesn’t matter –you’re invited and encouraged to join. There’s only one rule: you need to show up on a Yeti. Come meet the people behind the bikes, make long-lasting memories, and experience the ultimate MTB weekend. Time to let loose and let your Yeti ‘Freak’ flag fly.
Check out the website and register for this season’s Kingdom Trails Yeti gathering!

Addison County is one of the largest agricultural regions in New England. We are excited to bring the Tour de Farms to the shire town of Addison County, Middlebury, VT, for the first time ever! This is a special place for us, where ACORN began, and where our new Food Hub is located.
The Tour will begin and end at the Middlebury Rec Field. Enjoy panoramic views and beautiful back roads while visiting local farms in Middlebury, Weybridge, Cornwall and Salisbury. Most farm stops along the way will have multiple food producers who will offer you a taste of something they are known for. You will want to bring cash in case you’d like to purchase products along the way. You won’t have to carry it all on the bike; we’ll have a farm van to pick up your purchases and deliver them to the finish for you! (And YES, we will improve our purchases pick up process at the end – we were overwhelmed last year by the explosion of all the on-farm purchases!!)
Enjoy farm stops along the way, which include:
Morgan Horse Farm
Monument Farms
Lemon Fair Honey
Sunrise Orchards
Misty Hollow Farm
Blue Ledge Farm
Elmer Farm
The course includes some hills along the way and a number of unpaved roads. Mountain bikes, gravel grinders or road bikes with wide tires are required. Participants will be sharing the road with vehicles. While we recommend the Tour for children 14 years old and up, any children under 14 should be experienced road riders and must be accompanied by an adult as we are sharing the roads with vehicles. A route map will be provided at registration/check-in.
Weather
The event is rain or shine. Please keep in mind that this event is a fundraiser for ACORN. If you are not able to make it to the event, please consider your registration fees as a donation to ACORN. We do not offer refunds for unattended events.

The 2025 Leaf Blower Fall Classic Mountain Bike Festival
2025-10-04 09:00 - 18:00 | Strawberry Hill Farm, 300 Meadow Lane, Stowe, VT, 05672, United States
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!
