After the ride, enjoy delicious local food trucks, live music, and an unbeatable Grateful community vibe. Local artisans will be at the on-site farmers market, and the pump track and skills area will be open to all ages. Bring the family and make a day of it.

 2026 Cause:
This year, Grateful will be recognizing our friend Anthony Moccia, co-founder of Rasputitsa and an early force behind Grateful, and a dedicated member of the Northeast Kingdom community. His leadership and generosity helped shape the inclusive riding culture we all value today.  

 
In his honor, proceeds from Grateful will support the Halo Foundation, which provides financial assistance to families navigating cancer treatment, and Little Bellas, an organization that creates a community to empower women through cycling
