Kingdom Trip Conundrum ...

[a.s.]

The people who don't fit in the 2 cars hold on to the door handles NYC bike messenger style. No extra pedaling, just coasting.

🤔 this makes the most sense so far.

🤔 this makes the most sense so far.

With no sudden brakes from a rider or car coming off a dirt road

Another Option: Guy who has an e-bike takes car and e-bike to end location, leaves car there and coasts on e-bike (with throttle so no pedaling) back to start.

E-bikes legal on VT trails now?

No. Not legal at Kingdom right now.

A few systems allow them on a trial basis. KT is not one of them.

Yet I saw plenty when I was up there. I don’t get why everyone is fighting the inevitable. But that’s another topic.

Does Uber even exist up there? 🤔

I don’t get why everyone is fighting the inevitable.

Because in 5 years they will pretty much be electric dirt bikes. Then the trails will be gone.

Aren’t they already there in some parts? 6 mile.

Ok then let’s be real. You guys will go up that hill 4 times then call it a day.

This is truth . Drive to moose haven ride till dead drive back to town that's how I do it .

Yes, I know this is the obvious option other than riding there. I came here seeking another option, which does not require pedaling.

Apparently you folks are completely useless when it comes to making my life easier. 😁

You +2 drive up in a car, have three other people pedal up.
I think you can fill in the details
💰💰💰

At least no one suggested 🔥 this time.

I was assuming that the e-biking with throttle would be on the road following the car route, not on trails. But I’ve never been to the Burke area so I dunno about route specifics. Also not sure about the use of pedal-assisted e-bikes.

I was there last week, maybe you can do something like these rides I did from the tiki bar lot but in the opposite direction (these were both big ccw loops) It’s like 5 miles from town to moose haven lot if you hit 114 or hop on new school trail to white school road

Burke Mountain Website SUCKS.

Question about the bike park: I'm going this weekend with some intermediate trails riders who don't normally ride DH specific stuff. They're interested in checking out the bike park. Are there a good amount of Green and Blue trails for them to enjoy?

Yup, they will be fine there.

I could lap Roly Grail all day and be just fine with that. Green trail, super fun.

5 miles to Moose Haven sounds like a nice warmup for Black Bear and Stormin Norman. Thanks for the route. We may go with a version of this.
