Mountain Bike Vermont and Kingdom Trails have partnered again for Vermont's favorite fatbike fest!
Join us Saturday, February 7th in East Burke, VT! Presented by Lawson's Finest Liquids, Winterbike is Vermont’s premier Fatbike Festival! Now in its 14th year, the event continues to be the favorite among fatbike enthusiasts. The event is headquartered at Mike's Tiki Bar and hosted on the Kingdom Trails network, boasting miles and miles of cold-rolled singletrack!
In keeping with tradition, Winterbike will include the usual crowd pleasing ingredients including a ride, remote aid station, after party catering by Ranch Camp, and so much more!
As always Winterbike Highway will be mapped and signed. Go at your own pace, with your friends, stay at the aid station as long as you please, and return with everyone to the KT HQ party!
