Cancelled in 2025.  Stay tuned for a revamped 2026. 

The Moose offers miles and miles of wide open riding, on some of the most “car hungry” roads in Vermont. This is not a sanctioned race. As a “timed event” you must stop at all stop signs and obey traffic lights. But, hey, there are only three stop signs in the entire 103 miles of riding. As for traffic lights – nadda, niente. And yes, you must yield to oncoming traffic at your left hand turns. But what’s this? There are only three of them in all 103 miles.

Feel safer and more confident on your bike—whether you're new to cycling or just need a refresher. This class is taught by Bevin Barber-Campbell, a certified League of American Bicyclists instructor with over a decade of experience.

 Learn: Traffic safety, bike handling, and rules of the road

 Practice: On-road group ride to apply your skills

 Enjoy: Light refreshments during the session

The 7th annual Analog 4x4 features 3 ride options for ‘25.  There's the classic 40 miler, with the rocky class 4 roads and the hike a bikes, but we're also introducing the 2x4 (25ish miles, two class 4 roads, over 2500' less climbing) and the 1x4 for folks who just wanna sample platter: a bit of rail trail, a bit of dirt road, a singular class 4 road. 

Have you ever ridden past a decrepit dirt road and thought "I should really see what's down there?" Well now is your chance to find out! Code "UVCC" gets 50% off registration.

The fourth annual Class VI Classic brings back many fan favorites and will be adding many new segments that I'm certain (per Strava) you've never ridden (or pushed your bike through) before. To make things even more diabolical there will be a number of choose-your-own-adventure segments where you can pick harder or easier terrain.

The Vermont Gran Fondo (VTGF) was born from a famous bucket-list epic 4-gap ride known by the locals as the LAMB ride. LAMB comes from the names of 4 gaps (Lincoln Gap, Appalachian Gap, Middlebury Gap, and Brandon Gap) which, when combined into a single ride, can easily top 100 miles and over 10,000 feet of climbing, not a bad effort for one day.

The Kearsarge Klassic is, indeed, a gravel riding classic!

Launched by NHCC in 2012 the reins were turned over to GRVL Cycling in 2019. Ride HQ is in the the quaint village of Warner NH and includes many of the roads legacy riders have come to love.

The Mt. Kearsarge Hill Climb is an approx 8 mile climb up Kearsarge Mountain Rd.  onto the Mt. Kearsarge access road with a finish at the summit parking lot (elev. 2,937 ft).  The first 4.5 miles  is on a public road and includes some uphill, level, and downhill sections! The access road is 3.5 miles with an average grade of 8.7% and 1,738 feet in elevation gain.   When you reach the top, you'll be rewarded with a bare rock summit where, on a clear day, you can see as far as Boston and to the mountains in southern Vermont.

On Saturday, August 16, 2025, riders will race to the summit of Mt. Washington in what's been called, "the toughest hillclimb in the US, if not the world", the Mt. Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb (MWARBH). This race is hosted and benefits Tin Mountain Conservation Center.
