First Draft
Date: Saturday, August 8th
Start time: 7:30am (108mi.) and 12:00pm (54mi.)
Location: Twig Farm, West Cornwall, Vermont
Organized by Women’s Cycling Collective
Supported by Twig Farm
Come join a warm community of brightly spirited, endurance-minded riders as we journey through the rolling and occasionally lumpy gravel hills of Addison County. Our 108- and 54-mile routes begin and end at Twig Farm in Cornwall, Vermont, offering a beautiful and unique setting to challenge yourself, connect with others, remain well nourished, and enjoy a memorable day on the bike.
Whether you’re experienced with longer-distance riding or are building your comfort, confidence, and endurance, there's a place for you here. Our goal is to create opportunities for riders of all experience and confidence levels to ride together, learn from one another, and discover what's possible through shared miles and shared experience. We believe some of the most meaningful growth happens not only through individual effort, but through the encouragement, insight, and camaraderie of a supportive community. To put it most simply, we grow stronger together.
The ride is intentionally structured to give athletes the flexibility to plan and approach the day in a way that best supports their individual goals. Whether focused on performance, practicing pacing and fueling strategies, building confidence over longer distances, or simply enjoying a strong day on the bike, the format creates opportunities to ride dynamically with others while pursuing individual objectives. By fostering supportive connections and shared experiences, the event is designed to maximize engagement, enhance performance, and create meaningful opportunities for learning and growth.
Riders taking on the 108-mile route depart at 7:30am to complete the first 54-mile loop before returning to Twig Farm. At 12:00pm, after an opportunity to rest, refuel and regroup over a shared brunch/lunch, all riders head back out to complete the second loop, this time joined by riders taking on the 54-mile route. This offers a dynamic riding environment that is quite different from a traditional endurance ride, where groups often separate early and remain unchanged for the rest of the day.
Longer isn’t always the goal. The 108mi. route may appeal to you because you’ve been building your endurance. Riding a shorter distance, however, such as the 54mi route may allow you to challenge yourself in different ways, pushing your pace, riding more dynamically with others, practicing fueling and pacing strategies at higher intensity, or simply discovering a new level of confidence. Both distances offer meaningful opportunities for growth, learning and accomplishment. The “right” choice is the one that best aligns with your goals for the day.
This format creates something that doesn't often exist in larger group endurance rides. Rather than many riders spending the day falling farther behind the finish while others are already celebrating, the midpoint becomes a shared start (or restart) point. Athletes have the opportunity to reconnect, meet new people, form new groups, and begin the second half of the day together. The shared meal offers nourishment, creates space to reflect on the first half of the ride, compare experiences, adjust pacing or fueling strategies, and apply those lessons immediately during the afternoon. Whether your goal is performance, confidence, learning, or connection, the day is designed to maximize engagement while providing meaningful opportunities to build on the fitness, skills, and experience developed through training.
Women's Cycling Collective and Twig Farm are committed to creating collaborative, rider-focused opportunities that support, encourage, and connect riders as they explore their potential through training and endurance through the context of the bike and the natural world. By bringing together riders with diverse backgrounds and abilities, we hope to foster engaging learning experiences, build lasting connections, and cultivate a culture where all riders can thrive and grow. We invite you to be part of the collective energy that uplifts, empowers, and inspires riders, both on and off the bike.
Thank you to our generous business supporters and partners for enriching rider experience and making this event possible: Twig Farm, Velocio, Sunrise Orchards, Frog Hollow Bikes, Darn Tough Vermont, Bicycle Express and Julbo.

Welcome to Kingdom Bike Fest!
A family-friendly weekend celebrating community, camaraderie, & all things mountain bike. Come Join Us!
First and foremost, we are thrilled to invite you all to Kingdom Trails and The Wildflower Inn. We're going to have a ton of fun doing a bunch of really awesome “bike things” with an ever-growing group of really awesome “bike people"… just like you! For those of us organizing this extravaganza, it's been a dream to get to work together and throw the kind of bike event we've always wanted to throw. It's as much an event for all of you as it is for us! And we can't wait.
With that being said, we should probably start by setting some realistic expectations for this first annual hootenanny. As you may or may not know, we rather unexpectedly came together as organizers a mere 8 weeks from the event date to make this happen. We've gone from a whole bunch of nothing to a whole bunch of “something” in a really short amount of time. So will things go off perfectly? Maybe. Might there be a few hiccups and unexpected bumps? Probably. But will we all have a really great time together riding bikes, laughing, and celebrating our amazing community? Absolutely! So let's get this party started…
General Info:
This event is built for families, fun-seekers, and anyone who doesn't like sitting still. Between the scheduled races, organized activities, self-guided adventures, and friendly challenges, you'll have plenty to keep you entertained. Thanks to our co-organizers New England Youth Cycling (NEYC), we will have a FREE bicycle obstacle course & skills zones open to kids most of the weekend. NEYC will also be leading kids bike games & activities throughout. And up at our Expo & Vendor Area and Trailside you'll find even more games, activities, shenanigans, and antics for all to enjoy - they'll even be safe for adults to enjoy!
Saturday night's fun culminates in our “Ridiculous Relay” Team Race. Why have a relay race when you can have a relay race filled with insanity and uncontrollable laughter?!? It'll be a ridiculous 30 minutes of fun that's as awesome for racers as it is for spectators. And just as the relay race is ending, our live band will start playing for everyone to rock out as we celebrate the day. At nightfall, we'll light a bonfire and cap off a great evening telling stories with friends old & new.
Sunday then brings us the main event, our MTB XC Race. Sign up to race or just come out to cheer on our racers. There will be plenty of places for great viewing on course as well as at the Trailside Beer Garden. With the valley view as our backdrop, each award ceremony will be a postcard moment for sure.
Team Tent Area
We'll have a dedicated team tent area along the race course that's free for teams to set up a home base. Pre-registration is required though. Please note: There will be NO vehicles allowed in the team tent area from 9:00am Saturday through 5:00pm Sunday. There will, however, be a tent drop off area that gets you pretty close to the area. Otherwise plan on coming earlier to set up. Please also note: Teams that wish to sell any items will need to reserve a space in the Expo & Vendor Area instead.
Expo & Vendor Area
Close to the finish line, podium, and beer garden you'll find the Expo & Vendor Area. It's the heart of the weekend's activity at Kingdom Bike Fest. Here you'll find Event Registration, Kingdom Trails Memberships, local artisans, bike industry vendors, test & demo bikes, various food options, and Trailside - our coffee bar & beer garden perched right above all the racing action. Vendor space is somewhat limited, so be sure to pre-register and reserve your space early. And if you're a non-profit be sure to contact us about free vendor space.
NEYC Fun Zone
If you're familiar with NEYC races you'll know the Fun Zone very well. It's a sectioned-off area filled with all sorts of obstacles and bike skill challenges, including the Highland Fun Zone! Ringleaders & instigators Jake Kravitz and Kelly Catale will also be patrolling the Fun Zone and Darling Hill Skills Park throughout the day bringing their antics and inciting laughter & smiles in both kids and adults. The Fun Zone is FREE and open to all kids.
Vermont Adaptive Ride Lessons
Vermont Adaptive Ride Lessons
Vermont Adaptive is offering adaptive ride lessons (equipment provided if needed) at Kingdom Bike Fest. Sign up at least 2 weeks in advance so Vermont Adaptive can have the proper bikes, equipment and instruction game plan to provide a solid experience no matter what the ability. Lessons are available on Saturday and Sunday of the event, 10:00am-12:00pm and 1:00-3:00pm. Sign up with Vermont Adaptive directly using this link: Vermont Adaptive Ride Lesson Signup - choose your date and time using the calendar to register!
Disc Golf Flex Tournament
There will be a “flexible schedule" frisbee disc golf tournament throughout the weekend. Play your round anytime then sign & drop off your score card. Purchase your tournament score card for $5 at the Expo. Discs are also available for purchase at Trailside if you need one. Check out the disc golf course here.
Camping Available
There will be plenty of on-site, primitive camping. It opens Friday at 12pm and goes through Monday at 3pm. So hey, make a long weekend out of it! There's a $30 per vehicle fee for the whole weekend if you pre-register or $50 if you register day-of. We'll also have a strictly “quiet" side and a “normal” side for you to choose from.
Friday Event Info:
Life Cycles Film Screening
Life Cycles (2010) is a true adventure film. Over 5 years in the making, and using the bicycle as the vehicle, Life Cycles takes you on a journey through natures most beautiful, dramatic, and sometimes unforgiving landscapes. Shot in Ultra HD, and with an uncompromising attention to detail, Life Cycles pulls the viewer into natures most powerful elements. From Canada's golden prairies to a bicycle factory in Japan, Life Cycles explores the concepts of creation and destruction; in nature, machine and man.
Directors: Derek Frankowski, Ryan Gibb.
Featuring: Graham Agassiz, Mike Hopkins, Matt Hunter, Cameron McCaul, Riley McIntosh, Evan Schwartz, Brandon Semenuk, Thomas Vanderham
We are especially grateful for Derek Frankowski, who has generously given Kingdom Bike Fest the rights to screen this wonderful film for our cycling community! The film will start at 8:30pm under the tent at Trailside. Bring your camping chairs and blankets, and settle in for an adventure!
Saturday Event Info:
XC Course Pre-riding
Sunday’s XC race course will be open for pre-ride until 6pm on Saturday (and then again sunrise to 8:15am on Sunday). While the course will be marked, course GPS routes will also be made available.
Kingdom Shredders Grom Race
Starting at 4:30pm on Saturday August 8 and open to kids ages 5-13 on any size bike (no e-assist). Race will be about 30 minutes long on a 1.4 mile lap, so actual duration will vary based on the speed of the rider. The course is compact with good visibility for spectators. We will have adults riding as sweepers and to provide assistance as needed. Kids commemorative race plates will also have an optional space to write your child’s name in bold permanent marker - then gathered spectators will be able to cheer all children on. It'll be a great event for kids and parents. Also at 10:30am, there will be a group pre-ride for anyone who wants to check out the course as a group. No signup necessary, just meet at the Team KellCat tent!
Lil’ Rippers Strider Race: Sponsored by Passumpsic Bank
Push bikes only (no pedals). Course will be within the main camping venue, and flat enough for young kids to enjoy. All racers receive awards and have a group photo opportunity at the podium immediately following the race. This event begins at 4pm on Saturday August 8.
“Ridiculous Relay” Team Race
Teams made up of 3 riders. Each lap will be ~1.4 miles in length. Each rider will complete 1 lap then hand off to a teammate in the designated exchange area. No age restrictions on racers; family teams encouraged!!! (be sure kids are able to climb from the bottom of the skills park all the way to the Expo Area though). With that said, we are concocting some completely ridiculous shenanigans that will be required to actually complete the race as a team. This will be a fun event for both racers and spectators alike. At the end of the race our live band will start the evening's festivities.
East Darling Super D
This is a 1.5 mile mostly downhill & flat segment that’s marked. You will need to have a way to record and load your ride on Strava to participate in the Super D - AND you will need to join the Kingdom Bike Fest Strava Club to participate. Your ride must then be completed on Saturday Aug 8 and uploaded to Strava by NO LATER THAN 6pm that day to be scored. The course will be lightly marked, including signage to get from the Expo Area to the start. The Strava segment that will be used for timing will be posted by Friday 8/7. You may attempt the course as many times as you like; your fastest time will count. The trails used for the Super D are open to the public and are bi-drectional. PLEASE be respectful & ride with this in mind.
Kingdom Adventure Ride presented by Shimano!
Get together with your friends and head out for a fun ride (or rides!) on the Kingdom Trails.
5 buckets with different colored tokens will be placed at 5 popular checkpoints throughout the Kingdom Trails network. Ride whatever routes you’d like in any order you want to try to collect all 5 tokens. Turn in your tokens at the registration tent by Sunday at 1pm. Riders will be given 1 raffle ticket per token redeemed - good for a chance at our big grand prize raffle item (FYI: it's gonna be something SUPER cool!). In addition, all riders will receive a limited edition Kingdom Adventure Ride sticker for redeeming any number of tokens. Riders that redeem all 5 tokens will also receive some extra special event schwag as well. Raffle will be held during Sunday's XC awards. Event runs Friday Aug 7 at 12:00pm until Sunday Aug 9 at 12:00PM.
Details: Bucket locations will be shared via email to registered participants the week leading up to the event, and also available onsite at registration. We will send suggestions of routes that will get you to all 5 buckets. You can ride to every spot from the Wildflower, or choose to drive to different trailheads and ride to each bucket from there. Buckets will be placed on Friday morning, and you’ll need to turn in tokens by Sunday at 1pm. Happy token hunting!!
Tentative Bucket Locations:
Top of Black Bear Trail (entrance in woods, not Gazebo)
Top of Moose Deuce
Kitchel Connector

Top of Skydive
Whip Off at Sean's Showdown
Show off your style and skill on the Sean's Showdown drop. This event is free but you must register in order to participate.

Sunday Event Info:
Sunday’s XC race course is the same for all 4 waves. It is about 5 miles long, with a good amount of hand built flow trail, some awesome machine built flow trail, and a few roots sprinkled in to keep you alert. For those looking to send it, there will be a drop/jump line just under the spectator zone at Trailside (get your cameras ready), with an optional go around that will be a few seconds slower.

---Important Note - Event Cancelled ---
Unfortunately we have decided to cancel the 2026 Eastern Grind. We did not take this decision lightly. The New England mountain biking calendar was very difficult to navigate this year and with our registration #'s so low, the racer experience would not be up to the level of our expectations. We are working on securing a date for next year and hope to see you then.
We're excited to Host the 2026 Eastern Grind Race at Trapps Family Lodge in Stowe Vermont. The event will consist of a 1 or 2 lap race that will feature tons of Singletrack mixed with just enough double track. Course is ~11.5 miles long/ ~1500ft of Climbing per lap
This a fundraiser for the Bicycle Express Junior Team. Race to be held rain or shine - cancellations dependent on severe weather or trail conditions. Sorry No Refunds

DOUBLE DOWN DH
You asked, and we listened. We’re throwing our hat in the ring and kicking off a downhill race built for the biggest and the best.
Drop in for the Double Down Downhill at Bolton Valley, a full weekend of lift-served racing designed for riders who want to go fast, push limits, and send it.
Taking place August 15–16, 2026, this event is all about dialing your line and committing when it counts. Day one is qualifiers, where riders will lay down their fastest runs to earn a spot in finals. Day two is finals, same course, higher stakes, and one more shot to put it all together.
Registration starts at $90 through 5/13 and includes entry to the race plus lift access for both days, regardless of whether you qualify for finals. That means more laps, more time to fine-tune your approach, and a full weekend of riding no matter what. Professional timing will be provided by Eleven11 Timing to keep things tight and competitive.
Categories include Pro Men, Amateur Men, Pro Women, Amateur Women, Grom Boys, and Grom Girls.
Free camping will be available in the lower lots all weekend, making it easy to settle in and stay close to the action. If you’re looking for a little more comfort, on-site lodging is available just steps from the lifts and can be booked in advance. Off the bike, expect a mix of high-energy racing and laid-back bike park vibes, with music, food, and plenty of time to hang in the village after a full day of riding.
Bring your bike, your gear, and everything you need to ride hard for two days. Full face helmets and protective gear are mandatory. Start thinking about your line, because when it’s time to drop in, there’s only one move left to make. Double Down.
Fast, technical and just plain fun! Come out and explore what Bolton Valley Resort has to offer. We will be running Qualifying on saturday and then the big show down on Sunday.
Grab a team of 4 or more.. and on Sunday we will also be doing team times! Adding all members times together for the final results!

The Course...
~11 miles , ~5,000' vertical gainWhen you pack in around 5,000' of elevation gain on some of the most challenging terrain in the Northeast, you know you're in for an adventure. The race starts from the base of Stowe Mountain Resort and climbs Mozo (Mt. Mansfield) via the Haselton Trail, threading through spur trails before dropping into Underhill on the far side. A brief stretch on more forgiving terrain offers a moment to recover before starting up the Sunset Ridge Trail which will demand everything you have left. Once you reach the Long Trail you'll quickly transition to more rugged spur trails that will carry you toward the final descent back down the Stowe side via Rimrock and Perry Merrill.Don't mistake this for a trail half-marathon with a hill or two. This course requires real mountain running experience, comfort with steep, relentless climbing and descending, and the ability to move confidently on exposed, technical terrain. At 11 miles, it's one of the most consistently brutal stretches of trail in the region. This race will humble you, break you open, and send you home with mud on your face and blood on knees. If you are looking for a challenge... You've found it!
Event Capacity
This event is limited to just 70 runners. The high alpine terrain on which we'll be racing is delicate and all racers must remain on the trail at all times. DO NOT attempt to go off trail to pass or avoid members of the public who may be out enjoying a morning hike. Violations will result in disqualification.
Start Times
For 2026 we've removed the qualifying time requirements, meaning anyone who is up for the challenge is welcome to toe the line. An Early Start option is now available at 6:00 AM for runners anticipating the need for more time on the course. The official start begins at 6:30 AM, with staggered waves of 10 departing every 10 minutes through 7:30 AM. Wave placement is determined by UltraSignup Rank, or most recent race time if no rank available.
Event's current local time: 4:17 AM ET
