Who can participate?

Any adult with a current or past cancer diagnosis is welcome. You may be newly diagnosed or many years beyond treatment—we have no “typical” participant.

You don’t need to consider yourself an athlete to join (though experienced riders are absolutely welcome too). All genders are welcome.

What level rider do I need to be?

All levels are welcome, from beginner to expert.

You should have some prior experience riding a bike (even if it was years ago), but you do not need any mountain biking experience. Whether you’re learning for the first time or an expert looking for a day away on Kingdom Trails, your experience will be tailored to you.

Where will it happen?

All private lessons and tours take place on Kingdom Trails in East Burke, Vermont.

How long will my tour/lesson last?

We reserve up to 3 hours for your session, but the length is completely flexible.

Many participants find that a shorter ride—around an hour or less—is best, especially for their first experience. We will always adjust to your comfort and energy level.

Who will be my guide?

Alison Sauter. Ali is a PMBI Certified Mountain bike coach.

What do I need to bring?

• Helmet

• Water

• Snacks

• Your bike (unless you’ve requested one)

After you sign up, Ali can provide guidance on clothing, footwear, and optional gear—especially if you’re new to riding.

If you need to borrow a helmet or other equipment, just reach out ahead of time.

Will the experience be safe for my level of recovery?

Your ride will be guided entirely by your comfort level, energy, and experience.

We recommend discussing participation with your healthcare provider if you have any questions about readiness.

What will it cost?

Participation is completely free.

If needed, we also provide:

• Trail access

• A modern mountain bike or e-mtb

Ali volunteers her time and does not accept compensation or tips.

Can I bring a friend?

It depends!

To keep lessons personalized, instruction is typically one-on-one. However, if you’re interested in a guided ride (rather than a lesson) and would feel more comfortable bringing a friend, we can often accommodate that.

What about other trail networks?

Possibly.

If you’re unable to travel to Kingdom Trails, rides may be available in other locations at certain times of year, including Chittenden County, Vermont or Moab, Utah.
