Love to ride? So do we!
Stay at the Wilder Farm Inn and get a guided ride on some of the Northeasts best singletrack. Good fitness and an intermediate skill set are needed for maximum enjoyment. The Mad River Valley has miles and miles of fantastic trails made by bikers for bikers. You can poke around on your own and have a decent time but if you want to ride a nice loop...let us show you the way. You can even end your ride at a swimming hole...now that's a cool down!
The terrain is typical New England; rocky, rooty twisty & extremely fun. Expect to climb a bunch.
Rides are from 2-4hrs. long and free with you stay (tips appreciated!).

How about a crushing all day gap fest?...Got that too!
However you like to suffer, we have what you are looking for. Bike tools & stand are available as well as a safe indoor area to store your bikes. The bonus is a deep swim hole on the Mad River right across the road.
