The VMBA Days series is coming back for its fourth season with some new great additions. The first and largest is that Lawsons Finest Liquids is supporting the series. We're excited to welcome back the title sponsor from our first season!
For DH, we are bringing back our ‘New to DH’ and ‘New to the Resort’ group rides. These will be led by Resort & VMBA Ambassadors. At each stop we will also have a Community Builder partner that will lead their own group rides. For this stop we will be donating a portion 0f the procceds to NEMBA. Not only do you get a chance to win the rad items below, you will be supporting two great organizations!
At each stop of the series, we will also be hosting a fun activity specific to that resort, ranging from timed races, dual slalom, Strava races, and more. After everyone gets their riding in, Lawsons will be hosting an on-site Aprest and providing a limited amount of beverages to raffle ticket purchasers. During the Apres, we will also pull the winners of the raffle! .
One more awesome addition for this year: Following Saturday at the resort, we’ve teamed up with the local trail stewardship organization to host a trail riding day on Sunday! At Thunder Mountain, we will be riding Deerfield River Trails, rendezvousing at the Thunder Mountain parking lot. These will be great opportunities to ride new single track with the local riders and trail builders.
Please see below for a full breakdown of the activities, timing, prizes, and other rad things we have in the works for each stop. With limited space available, make sure to secure your spot on a ride. If you can’t make this stop, make sure to look below for our other dates.
