Vendors will include Onion River Sports (Montpelier), and Five Hills Bikes (Waterbury). So far, we have lined up demo bikes from Specialized and Niner, and hope to get confirmation from several other companies real soon!

Group rides will be led in Waitsfield by Dave Rowles and our friends from Stark Mountain Bike Works; with shuttle runs led by Knight and Lilias Ide from Ideride – bring your big bike and armor for that trip! Group rides will be held in Waterbury and Stowe, led by local guides from the Stowe Mountain Bike Club, with more group rides in Hinesburg, led by guides from the Fellowship of the Wheel – you’ve heard about the Preacher Trail in Hinesburg, right? Well this is your chance to ride it, with local gals and guys showing you the way.

We will have a womens’ skills clinic and trail ride in Waterbury led by the Girls Move Mountains - Dirt Divas Program, there will be pre-ride stretches, warm-ups and workouts led by Mocean365, and there will be kids rides on the Waterbury trails led by Wheels Around Waterbury.

All-in-all, the 2010 festival is coming together well, and it’s only February! Next up, we are working on more ride locations, confirming more vendors from the bike and outdoor gear industry, and scheduling more skills clinics and demos. We’re also working on a band, BBQ, and Saturday night party with free schwag, beer specials and mountain bike movies.

Keep it on your calendar for July 17- 18, 2010, and watch this page for more updates over the next weeks and months, ride on…..
