VERMONT WEEKEND WARRIOR TRIP
XC & DH weekend @ Killington, Vermont
Saturday, October 7th & Sunday October 8th

Join us over the Columbus Day Weekend on this epic mountain bike adventure.
Contact me if you would like to attend: antonio@pptchelsea.com

Killington Mountain Bike Park offers the ultimate lift-served mountain biking experience, serving up everything from classic cross-country singletrack, to flowy machine built goodness and challenging downhill trails. In addition, I've lined up guided XC rides outside the park (courtesy of a few local MTBers).

Lodging
Turn of River Lodge, a cozy economical place owned by a fellow mountain biker, has offered us a great rate. The lodge is minutes away from Killington Resort and a short drive to the XC trails of Green Mountain and Pine Hill.

Ride Options:
Guided ride through some of the best XC trails in the region. The pace will be moderate (no one left behind). Note: these rides are not suitable for newbies or beginners.

DH at Killington (self guided) - Many trails can be ridden on a mid-travel dual suspension bike. Bring your DH bike if you want to go bigger. The mountain has an excellent rental fleet as well, including all protective gear. Note: I will be getting discounted lift tickets for our group.

I've stayed there before a few years ago... not really the nicest.

I've never been before but it's under new ownership. The guy is an avid cyclist from Long Island. He's looking to attract more MTBers. From what I understand he's put some work into the place since taking over a year ago. This trip was actually created to help support Aaron and his lodge. It's going to be a blast. We now have 6 people confirmed!
