Old Spokes Home and the Intervale Center are co-hosting the third annual Bike Bloom on Thursday, May 29th!

The Bike Bloom, a celebration of bikes and the outdoors, will begin with group rides starting at Old Spokes Home and ending at the Intervale Center for a party and Bike Show.

The Calkins Cruise — A mellow-paced ride on Intervale Road and Ethan Allen trails, exposing some of Burlington's best, most accessible, and closest-to-home dirt-road and mellow-trail bicycling.

The Farm Fly — Slightly faster and farther, the Farm Fly will zip through the Intervale, McKenzie Park, Ethan Allen Homestead trails, and out to Ethan Allen Park.

The Riparian Ride — Focusing on the ecology of the Intervale, this ride will meander along with numerous stops to look at and learn about flora, fauna, and the conservation work being done along the Winooski River.

The Tour de Toddler- A slow and steady short ride designed to accommodate bike trailers and strider bikes so the whole family can participate.

All rides start from Old Spokes Home except for the Tour de Toddler, which starts from the Intervale Barn.

All rides finish at the Intervale Barn where there will be a party with food and beverages and a bike show!

The show will display bikes that are unique, beautiful, rare, and/or special. It is a competition, but with a twist: the goal is to raise funds for Old Spokes Home and the Intervale Center, and attendees can vote with their dollar for their favorites across three categories.

Visit the event link to sign up for rides and/or the bike show!

Come have fun and celebrate spring, bikes, and the outdoors with the Intervale Center and Old Spokes Home!

"A great place to ski if you live in town and don't want to drive. It's a great spot and is even groomed! Lots of options for loops. It's very flat so it's a great workout."

"A lot of fun skiing this trail right in Burlington, 30 minute walk from downtown or 10 minute drive. It's free and lightly used. The trail could use a little better marking but you can also just follow the tracks. There are no real hills, so it makes a great trail for beginners and for those who just want to open up on a straight flat. Not that there aren't any facilities, it's just the trail. So be sure to pack in your own water and aprs ski snackyou and the kidlings will be hungry. I think you can rent skis at Ski Rack downtown if you don't have any and just want to give it a try."
