Trailfest: VCMP

Dig. Ride. Give Back!

Join us for a day of trail stewardship + riding in partnership with Levine Law! We're bringing riders together to dig, ride, and give back to the trails that make our community special. We're aiming to make trail work more approachable and welcoming for first-timers. Learn from our expert trail crew members and connect with fellow riders.
