Burlington to Bar Harbor Ride

Join us on this incredible bike ride that showcases the most beautiful parts of New England. We’ll ride from Burlington on the shores of Lake Champlain, through the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont visiting many adorable towns along the way. As we continue east, we’ll pedal over the White Mountains and around Mt Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast, and through the endless forests of New Hampshire. In Maine, we’ll ride past dozens of woodsy lakes en route to the coastline. Our ride in Maine will feature an optional century ride that ends on Mount Desert Island. The final ride is an incredibly scenic loop in Acadia National Park. This ride offers a dynamic view of the diverse ecosystems of the region from mountains to lakes to the Atlantic. Each night, we will have indoor accommodations available that range from multi-room cabins, hotel-style rooms, bunkhouses, and options to camp on most nights. Indoor accommodations are shared or double occupancy with some availability for a single supplement for an additional fee on a space-available basis.

This is more than a bike trip – it’s an inspiring journey with like-minded people united by their passion for sustainability and adventure. You can choose from our full list of beneficiaries and proceeds will be distributed to the Climate Ride grants program based on your beneficiary selection.
