So excited to announce a Vermont Adaptive sponsored OFF ROAD Adaptive Bike Race/Ride on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 12:30 p.m.
Join us Saturday, Sept. 23 from 12:30-2 p.m. (the day before the Vermont 50) to learn more about our adaptive mountain bike program and ride some of Mount Ascutney’s trails. All abilities welcome, from never-ever to advanced riders. The ride will take place on the same trails as the kids’ fun race, just prior to their race on Saturday, right at the start/finish.
This leisurely 1-mile ride welcomes all adaptive and non-adaptive riders and is part of Vermont Adaptive’s open enrollment program. Reservations are required if you need to use our bikes (the number of bikes is limited). The ride itself is free and people are welcome to bring their own bikes.
After the ride, beginning at 2 p.m., we’ll have bikes to demo at the Vermont Adaptive tent as well, for those who might want to try the bikes but not go out on an official ride.
Please email Olivia Joseph at [email protected] to learn more about the ride and equipment needs.
A few race updates for you all. We hope you had a nice Labor Day and that your training is going well.
We’ve updated our website and added a CARPOOL FORUM for ride sharing to the race start on Sunday morning, Sept. 24.. Ride sharing saves parking space and helps with the traffic on Ski Tow Road (one way in, one way out.) And you can plan your race strategy with your car-poolers!
Our Handbooks have been published and are ready for your review and to share with your Race Crew and Family members.
