The Vermont Challenge will be a friendly experience drawing on the qualities of the people of Vermont. The Ride incorporates three major VT ski resorts (Okemo Mountain, Killington Mountain, and Stratton Mountain) and a signature town as our key hosts for meals and lodging.

The Vermont Challenge is the only bicycle Challenge that tours Southern and Central Vermont over 3 or 4 days and draws upon the creative energy of local businesses and people of Vermont, key ski resorts, restaurants and farms in each local community that we visit. We offer the bicyclist the chance to complete a century over one of Vermont’s legendary “Gaps” across the spine of the Green Mountains with stunning vistas in each direction. The Vermont Challenge will become a major bicycling event in the United States and YOU can be part of this special event in its first year and be the proud owner of our commemorative first year jersey!
