Mountain Biking in Randolph, Vermont
Fat wheelers rave about the Kingdom Trails outside East Burke, Vermont. There’s no denying this is one sweet chunk of bucolic riding, yet I’m going retro and picking the trails around Randolph, Vermont, home of the first New England Mountain Biking Festival, as one of my favorite fall rides. Park and/or stay at the Three Stallion Inn on the grounds of the historic 1300-acre Green Mountain Stock Farm, where more than 30 miles of singletracks and doubletracks weave through the woods. Also check out the 12-mile Mud Pond Loop, a quintessential Vermont ride past rows of yellow corn stalks yet to be reaped and farmland so fertile you feel like jumping off the bike and digging your hands into the rich soil.
