Thank you for three days of riding and learning this weekend in Stowe at the Von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort. Packed with group rides, yoga, clinics, speakers, meals, and more, women of all abilities enjoyed an amazing network of trails and camaraderie. We love being the adaptive partner for this annual event!

On Friday, we hit the trails at von Trapp, Saturday was spent on the trails at Cady Hill with Stowe Trails Partnership and today we were at Little River with WATA and Vermont Parks. Somehow we managed to dodge the raindrops all weekend!

You can find a full state-wide mountain bike schedule at vermontadaptive.org/mountain-biking/

Thank you to Elevate, Trapps, Vermont Mountain Bike Association, Stowe Trails Partnership and so many others who created a fantastic weekend to kick off the mountain bike season.

Clean up aisle #? The first start to bringing to life the Vermont Adaptive Outdoor Center in Rochester, Vt began today (and putting our RTV to good use, thanks Townline Equipment Sales, Inc.)

We have a looonnnggg way to go but the possibilities are endless. Thanks to staff and volunteers for getting their hands dirty today. And to the staff who joined us from the Vermont Land Trust.
