*Email is the Best Way to Reach Us* The Ridgeline Outdoor Collective was originally named the Rochester/Randolph Area Sports Trail Alliance (RASTA) and was founded during the winter of 2013. The initial efforts of the Collective centered around developing ways to promote backcountry skiing access on p

ublic and private land. Before long, Ridgeline members realized there was additional local interest in trails for other forms of non-motorized multi-use year round outdoor activities as well, not only back country skiing. Local interest quickly grew around the idea of creating a sustainable trail network that extends through public and private land and can be used for various non-motorized activities such as hiking, running, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and mountain biking. The proposed trails would encourage non-motorized activities for locals and visitors alike. Today Ridgeline is a non-profit organization with 501c3 status and is a chapter of the Vermont Mountain Bike Association & Catamount Trail Association. The 501c3 status allows Ridgeline to receive tax-deductable donations and the VMBA chapter status allows us to qualify for publicly funded trail grants.

Mountain biking on the trails can get you dirty... but do like Dillon does and swing by the Rochester Laundromat to tidy up after your ride! 😀 Open daily from 6am until 9pm at 56 North Main Street, Rochester, VT.

🚵‍♀️☀️ That’s a wrap on Rochester Summer Mountain Bike Camps! ☀️🚵‍♂️

What a summer it’s been! From learning new skills and building confidence to tackling trails, taking on challenges, and making new friends, our riders brought the energy to camp this summer. 💪🌲

We’re so proud of every rider who showed up ready to learn, try something new, and push themselves a little further. The smiles, high-fives, muddy tires, and trail adventures made this summer one to remember! 🙌

A huge THANK YOU to our campers, families, coaches, and volunteers for making Rochester Summer Mountain Bike Camps such a success. ❤️

Keep riding, keep exploring, and we’ll see you on the trails! 🚵‍♂️🌳

On Saturday, August 15, we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon & evening at the Wild & Scenic Film Festival and pizza party celebration in Rochester, VT and organized by our friends at BigTown Vermont! 🌿🎬

We especially loved seeing Best Day Ever, a powerful film highlighting adaptive, accessible trails and the importance of making outdoor spaces welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. What a great reminder that adventure and connection with nature should be accessible to all.

A huge thank-you to the organizers, volunteers, filmmakers, and everyone who made the event a success. We’re grateful to celebrate inspiring stories, the outdoors, and the work happening to make our communities and trails more inclusive.

Until next time! 🌎💚

👉UPDATE👈 Earl's Trail in Rochester is open! But... the bridge on the lower end (near Brook Street) is closed to all users until construction of the new bridge is complete. Please use the temporary stream crossing in the meantime. Thanks for your cooperation!

If you've spent much time around Randolph, you've likely seen Ridgeline's trailer...ever wonder what we use it for? You guessed it...bikes! And not just any bikes...these are youth sized mountain bikes which we maintain in order to have bikes available for youth in our communities to use when they participate in our local mountain bike camps and programs.

Ridgeline Outdoor Collective is proud to support the Randolph community by providing our mountain bike fleet to be available for the town's Recreation Department's summer mountain bike camps! 🚵‍♀️ Through this partnership, our bikes are available at no expense to the campers, or the town, thanks to funding we receive to help maintain accessible and sustainable youth programs locally.

It's great to see young riders building confidence, learning new skills and enjoying the trails on Ridgeline's bikes. Thank you to the Town of Randolph Recreation for all you do to create fun, active experiences for local youth. We're happy to be a part of it!
