On behalf of the Mad River Path Implementation Committee, we are excited to invite you to join an informational group bike ride on the Mad River Path between Warren and Waitsfield on Friday, September 11. We will follow the Mad River Path alignment as determined by the 2024 MRV Active Transportation Corridor Scoping Study. We will ride the completed sections, those slated for the near-term improvements, and explore the future connectivity opportunities. We will be the first group to officially tour the newly completed Kingsbury Greenway Section of the Path! Along the way, we will stop at the key recreational and hospitality sites and envision the Mad River Valley connected by an unbroken off-road bike and pedestrian corridor.
Logistics: We will meet at 8:30 AM at the General Wait House in Waitsfield. Bikes and participants will be shuttled to Warren, so at the end of the ride, you will be back by your car. Alternatively, you can meet us by the Warren Path entrance at the Brooks Recreational Field at 9 AM. We expect to finish by noon.
What to bring: We suggest using a mountain bike, as several sections of the path are unimproved dirt track, while others are mowed grass. The experienced riders can negotiate the entire route on a gravel bike. Please reach out to Misha if you need to borrow a mountain bike. Two miles of the 8-mile ride are on the shoulder of VT 100, so please wear high-visibility garments. Halfway through the ride, we will be treated to refreshments and coffee at MadBush Falls.
