Empowering survivors through outdoor exploration and accomplishment, on mountain bikes.
At Wellness on Wheels, we offer free, 1-on-1 mountain bike lessons and guided rides led by instructors who are cancer survivors themselves.
All rides take place on the Kingdom Trails in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Each experience is private and tailored to your comfort level—whether you’re brand new to biking or ready for more of a challenge. We provide everything you need, including your lesson or tour, trail pass, and bike.
Our goal is simple: to create a supportive, pressure-free space where you can experience the joy of mountain biking.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed and looking for a meaningful escape, in the middle of treatment and hoping for a gentle ride, or years beyond diagnosis and ready to feel strong again—you are welcome here.

Your Guide
Ali is a two-time cancer survivor who discovered a love for mountain biking on Kingdom Trails in Vermont a few years after her first diagnosis. Today, she rides year-round in both Vermont and Moab, Utah. As a survivor and certified coach, Ali guides each ride with empathy, encouragement, and expertise.
I was a lucky recipient of a session with Ali through this program. Her competent, compassionate coaching allowed me to overcome my fears. I found the experience empowering and exhilarating. My identity as a strong woman, despite the challenges from breast cancer, grew….thanks to Ali. ~ MS, Wellness on Wheels program participant
