BIKING
Some of the best mountain biking trails are located right near the center of town
in Stowe. The trails can be accessed from the iRide Bike shop's parking lot.
The iRide bike shop is located on Mountain Road, just about a 1/4 mile from the turn
off route 100. Stop into the iRide bike shop. Great folks, and they will tell you
all about the trails because there are no maps.
