What Is This?

  • The Kingdom Trails trip is an official team ride that includes a family vacation! We get to spend time on vacation riding some of the best trails in the North East!

  • All riders and coaches must be fully registered in PitZone and up-to-date on certifications to participate.

  • Each day will consist of two rides. A tentative schedule can be found below.

  • Please be sure to set your availability in TeamSnap for each day you are riding.

  • Wednesday and Sunday are travel days. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday we ride!

  • Please don’t forget to purchase your Kingdom Trail membership. You can purchase them in-person at the Kingdom Trail welcome center or online in advance at https://www.kingdomtrails.org

Who Can Attend?

  • This ride is open to returning riders and coaches.

  • Riders in the Honey Badger and Mad Dog groups must have a parent coach to ride with them at Kingdom Trails. This is due to the limited coach coverage available on the trip and the large number of miles ridden.

What About Lodging?

  • We will work with Burke Mountain Hotel to get a group discount rate. Once available, we will post this to TeamSnap.

  • There are also a number of great house rental and camping options in the region. Talk to other team members if you have questions about where to stay.

General Information, Other Activities, Team Meals, Etc.

  • Coaches are only responsible for riders during the scheduled morning and afternoon ride times.

  • We will set up a TeamSnap or text message group based on rider and coach availability while in Vermont.

  • Coaches will be shuttling cars to https://www.mikestikibar.com most mornings as that is where the rides will usually end. We will need one or more volunteers to help bring coaches back to the ride starting point from the Tiki Bar parking lot after we drop off the cars in the morning.

  • Please be sure you can carry sufficient water and food for a 3 hour ride. Please have a spare tube, tools, tire levers, and a pump. You will not be allowed to ride with us unless you have these items.

  • Lunch will be on your own. If you want to pack a lunch please get it to us before we drop cars off at the Tiki Bar in the morning. We may also have some non-riding volunteers that would be willing to take lunches to the cooler in one of the coach’s cars at the Tiki Bar. You will be hungry after your ride!

  • Dinners will most likely be at the Tiki Bar or one of the surrounding restaurants. There is enough space at the Tiki Bar for everybody to gather at the end of the day. Ice Cream shop is a must for after dinner. Hotel has a meeting area if we want to do a night of pizza.

  • Night usually ends around the fire pit in the back of the hotel. The nights tend to get earlier as everybody gets more tired.

  • Kingdom Trails now allows class 1 e-bikes on the trails if you need an excuse to add another bike to your collection!
