The Retreat Farm Ramble is our third annual cycling event with multiple rides to choose from. This year we'll have a 33-mile mixed gravel and pavement farm tour and a 15 mile family-friendly hybrid bike and E-bike tour. Each route will have aid station stops and riders on the 33-mile route will also make stops at partnering farms to refuel on provided treats.
The ride will end at Retreat Farm, where our Farmhouse Square will be open with music, food, and tasty craft brews. We'll have food trucks, music, mechanical support, and a farm full of fun for the entire family, with hiking, a forest playground, and animals out on pasture. Our North Barn and Thirsty Goat Bar will be open, and you can visit the Retreat Farm Market featuring VT-made cheese and food products.
