SUMMARY:The Vermont Overland Bike 2026
DESCRIPTION:This 55-mile gravel ride through Vermont’s pastoral landscape combines 7\,000 feet of climbing with seven sectors of “Vermont pavé” — unmaintained ancient public roads that demand technical skills and careful bike handling. The route delivers a relentless series of short\, punchy climbs that belie the seemingly gentle nature of Vermont’s Green Mountain terrain. \nThe seven Class-4 road sectors form the heart of the challenge\, ranging from leisurely dirt stretches to demanding technical ascents over surfaces that test every aspect of gravel cycling ability. Two strategically placed aid stations provide hydration and fuel support\, but the event emphasizes self-sufficiency from the start. Riders must navigate independently using GPS devices or printed cue sheets\, adding an authentic exploration element to the experience. \nWith its 10 AM mass start and 1\,000-rider field limit\, this event sells out within hours when registration opens each January 1st. The course favors gravel bikes or cyclocross setups with minimum 32c tires and low gearing\, though hardtail mountain bikes work well for newcomers to dirt road riding. \nThe post-ride atmosphere centers around a cookout and celebration featuring live music and a vendor expo. Podium ceremonies recognize top finishers across multiple categories\, balancing competitive recognition with the event’s inclusive community spirit. \nProduced by Vermont Overland\, the event benefits local organizations including the Reading/West Windsor Food Shelf\, Ascutney Outdoors\, and WAMBA. Participants consistently praise the challenging terrain\, scenic beauty\, and well-organized execution that has made this one of New England’s premier gravel events. \n\n[vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpxv0oRiwPI”]\n[vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/j2eLxJNItgI”]
