It’s that beautiful time of year where we rush out of work, forget our gloves but somehow remember to bring a shock pump and ride bikes in the woods in Vermont!

We’re talking about our Thursday night friendly mountain bike group rides at Millstone Trails!

Thursday, May 21 (and every Thursday with good weather)
Riders gather at 5:15, at Brook St. Garage, Millstone Trails Parking
Wheels roll at 5:30

Barb, Bridget, and Kelsey have come up with a better format this year that is a little more fun for everyone. We’ll be starting things off with a beginner friendly warm up loop for folks then the ride continues a little longer for more intermediate riders who want a little more. The beginner loop will take the group about 40-45 minutes, and the continued loop after will add another 40-45 minute ride time to the evening.

Helmets are required.

If you have not already done so, filling out our 2026 rider waiver form ahead of time is required as well. You can do it all online at www.VermontBicycleClub.com/waiver.

If you’ve filled out your 2026 Ride Waiver, be sure to swing down to the shop for your 2026 Vermont Bicycle Club sticker!
Having that on your bike makes it much easier for ride leaders to know you’ve met the requirements to join us.

Our rides are designed to create a welcoming space for beginner cyclists, and are open to anyone who shares the goal of fostering a comfortable environment, including experienced cyclists.

We aim to shift away from the established social systems within the cycling world. There are no exclusions; participants are asked to create space for individuals; especially black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), women, queer folks, and those from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds to feel safe, supported, and confident, ensuring the best possible experience for all.
