On Sunday of Columbus Day Weekend, over 175 mountain bikers came to Stowe to participate in the fifth annual Fall Classic Leaf Blower, an increasingly popular Stowe Mountain Bike Club event.
It was a super fun day for all ages and abilities, and included group rides traveling all over Stowe’s trail network, secret snack stashes, poolside dinner at the Town & Country, prizes, bonfire, and, yet again, picture-perfect weather.
What truly makes this the best event is the community and all of the people who pull together to contribute and donate. From the venue to the raffle prizes, the photography, and volunteers, we owe a huge thank you to the following people who helped make this the best Leaf Blower yet!
