The 9th annual Winterbike Fatbike Festival

East Burke, VT - Mountain Bike Vermont and Kingdom Trails have partnered again for the WinterBike Fatbike Festival on Saturday, February 22, 2020. 

 

Presented by Burke Mountain and Clif Bar, WinterBike is Vermont’s premier Fatbike Festival. Now in its 9th year, the event continues to be the largest fatbike festival in the Northeast. Hosted at Mike’s Tiki Bar and on the Kingdom Trails network, the event is situated on Vermont’s most expansive groomed fatbike specific trail network, boasting over 26 miles of cold rolled singletrack! 

 

In keeping with tradition, Winterbike will include the usual crowd pleasing ingredients including a Friday pre-registration Social co-hosted by Bike the Borderlands at The Burke Mountain Hotel. Saturday will see a vendor garden, demo fleets, group rides for all ages and abilities, and catering by The Craftsbury General Store.  

 

This year, instead of the 6X Race, we will be hosting a “Winterbike Olympics” which will consist of 5 bike-themed events for participants to compete in for prizes and glory!

 

“We strive to improve the event year over year while maintaining its soul.” Says Lilias Ide, event co-founder and Kingdom Trails Marketing & Events Manager. “With the support of a few new partners, this year is shaping up to be the best to date.”   


“WinterBike is an opportunity for the entire family to ‘bike party’ together.” Says event co-founder and MTBVT co-owner Ryan Thibault. “We worked hard over the years to make the event fun for everyone. This year we’ve upped our game with the addition of a few new activities for the kiddos.” 

 

With the heightened focus on family, this year’s event will include a kid’s specific ride. Additional kids entertainment will be found in a Fender Blender Smoothie Bike Station provided by NEK Prosper.  

 

And as always, WinterBike games will be happening all afternoon Saturday with prizes provided by Kingdom Trails, MTBVT, and more!

From the Executive Director: Hi Everyone! Well, July has certainly brought the heat, but luckily here at KT there are plenty of shady trails to choose from. Speaking of trails...we are opening a new one this weekend: "Cheddar Slice" connects the bottom of Butter Tubs to the bottom of the Dashney Loop, creating a roughly 4-mile family-friendly loop and adding another way to connect the Moose Alley and Dashney zones. Connectivity has been a big focus this year, and there is more to come later this season. Thank you to all our generous Landowners, members and supporters. Have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Fourth of July!! -Georgia Celebrate the Fourth with Us!
