Ride or Roam
This trip offers two equally unforgettable ways to experience Vermont: on the trail or on the road. One group will join Brice for guided and instructional mountain biking through some of the nation’s best singletrack, tackling purpose-built trails and playful descents around Killington and Woodstock.
The other group will explore the region’s scenic backroads and natural gems — from short hikes along the Appalachian Trail and Green Mountain National Forest, to visits at legendary maple syrup farms, to peaceful drives beneath golden canopies. Whether you’re carving turns or sipping cider, this weekend delivers peak fall vibes your way.
