Kingdom Trails Community Chat Series
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM





 We’re proud to debut KT Community Chats! These will be relatively informal gatherings hosted on a monthly basis. The chats will consist of Abby Long, KT’s Executive Director, plus a few Board members or folks from the KT Team.

 

Goals of the gathering will be a chance to share the latest news from KT, yet the bulk of the chats will be an opportunity for KT to hear feedback from you, our community. We want to receive your thoughts, questions, and even visions!

 

If concerns are identified through these chats, we hope to demonstrate action and responsiveness, either by addressing the issues during the gathering or following up individually with folks. If it appears to be a broader concern, our team can devote a more strategic effort. There may be times when we are unable to solve every issue or implement every suggestion, but we commit to you now that we will listen.

LADIES ALLRIDE Signature Two-Day Camp





 This signature two-day camp is hosted at the magical Wildflower Inn in beautiful Lyndonville, Vermont. The Kingdom Trails have over 100 miles of interconnected mountain bike trails, mostly single track, traveling through pine forests, maple tree groves, alongside rivers, up and down hills and mountains. The views are majestic and often include wildlife. But it's the dirt that makes this place extra dreamy. With great soil and drainage, the trails stay dry and tacky. Most of the riding is smooth, fast and flowy, but you can find plenty of technical trails too.
