We are sorry to announce that we have cancelled this year's Cycling Weekend. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
Please check back next year!
Welcome to the sixth annual Vermont Lakes Region Cycling Weekend. Join us in the small community of Poultney, Vermont for a weekend of good riding, friendship, food and entertainment.
On August 1st and 2nd, a small group of cyclists will gather at Green Mountain College in Poultney to explore the great cycling roads in this quiet corner of Vermont. Some of the best cycling terrain in the state and our friendly, small town atmosphere are the highlights for our participants.

We have a paved, scenic, rural route for everyone – from rolling to hilly terrain, and from 15 to 65 miles in length. There is a choice of six rides each day. Eleven of the rides start and finish at the college, and one on Saturday has a remote start. All of the rides have an experienced leader as well as detailed map and cues.
We invite you to cycle with us for the weekend or just one day, Saturday or Sunday. All participants enjoy a Friday night welcome reception, an ice cream social on Saturday afternoon and an optional Saturday night catered dinner with entertainment. Accommodations are available at Green Mountain College or at area B&B’s and motels.
Our event is small, averaging about 75 - 80 riders in past years. We plan to maintain a small event, allowing it to grow but not letting it grow in size beyond the point where we would lose our friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

“(It) was really nice being personally greeted by (the organizers) – this was an extra
nice touch for first timers. I have been to too many events where everyone is very
cliquey and it feels awkward to be a new attendee.” A past participant
“This is an event that combines small-town friendliness with big-time
organization.” A past participant
