This is where it all started, Burke Mountain Bike'n Brew in July. We enjoyed the brew fest Saturday afternoon/night where there were demos, food and obviously lots of beer. After camping at Burke Saturday night we hit Kingdom Trails early and rode for 4 hours. This was the first time I rode my friend's Gary Fisher HiFi, which I now own. Kingdom Trails has won a lot of awards for it's trail system. There are over 50 miles worth of trails and they consist of steep climbs, challenging down hills, winding single track, technical challenges and a shuttle to the summit for some nice downhill riding. The trails run along rivers at points where it can be refreshing to jump in and cool off. There is a cafe located at a highpoint in the trails with garden fresh sandwiches and homemade treats. The best part is that to every grueling climb you are rewarded with some of the best down hill rides. If you ever get a chance to make it to Kingdom Trails I highly recommend riding Kitchel, Side Winder, Tap'n Die and hitting up the Trout River Brewery in downtown Lyndonville VT.
