Vermont Bikerpackers now have their own VMBA Chapter!

2014 Route



Vermont Bikepackers is now a chapter of VMBA*!   We need board members.  We need logo ideas. We need a name for the Great Route.  We need route ideas that link VMBA Chapters together.  We need route explorers and route maintainers. We need someone to set a record riding end to end.  We need riders to join VMBA as Bikepackers!   

Vermont Bikepackers will work with VMBA to build a relationship with the GMNF; securing the route and getting permission for a group ride.  Vermont Bikepackers will maintain access and map the best places to bikepack in Vermont.

It's not all this flat! (WATA-bury, VT)


* You should be able to join Vermont Bikepackers online starting first week in March.

    Great news!
    I can't wait to help out however I can, and give the route a try. Having VMBA involved ought to make some land access issues go a bit smoother. This is great.

      Jason, Dave and I will be working on getting the tracks dialed in and I believe he will be posting them here. By chance are you the guy that went out for TD and had trouble with, I think, your knee? I live in essex junction too. Thought we could meet up this year for some riding.

      Awesome! Thanks for all the time you guys have put into this! Yes, that's me. Started sick and then had knee issues so I flew home. That sounds like a good idea to me

    Mark, it's more of the camo variety now, right? Good seeing you today at the Derby. Good job "not racing"!

      Michael,
      Welcome! Collectively we plan on creating a wealth of knowledge and we are hoping that this becomes a central place that you can come to tap that. Stay tuned as we add some really nice content. I'm hoping to have a couple of posts a week that will be at least entertaining if not informative.

      Definitely. Been trying to decide if I am going for the xVT or trying something new. We are going to try Idaho Hot Springs this year, so I def need some training rides ;-)

      xVT is a wonderful thing, of course that would be my suggestion.
