Join Olympic Bronze medalist Georgia Gould and former pro Sara Bresnick for an all-inclusive gravel bike tour in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

Show up ready to ride, and leave the rest to us! During your stay, our professional chefs will prepare delicious, hearty and wholesome meals with locally sourced ingredients. Our home base will be a sprawling 10 acre trailside property situated on the outskirts of East Burke Village. The house is a former 4000 square foot Inn with private bathrooms accompanying each bedroom. There is ample room to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the Kingdom. Feel free to enjoy spectacular views of Burke Mountain from the patio, stroll down to the river, hone your foosball skills, curl up by the fire or just enjoy the sanctuary of your own room.

Each day we will explore the area’s finest dirt roads, riding through farmland, forest and classic New England small towns. We’ll cruise the countryside, stop at local farm stands and country stores to refuel, climb twisty mountain roads and skirt the most beautiful lakes and ponds in the region. The Northeast Kingdom boasts some of the best gravel riding in the world, you will not be disappointed!
