A bit of perspective is gained after a season of travel and racing all over the country. It’s comforting to return home and rip the bread and butter trails you grew up on. I am fortunate to call picturesque, Stowe in Vermont home. With the dedication of Stowe Mountain Bike Club, countless miles of trails are maintained steps away from my front door. Mountain biking planted roots in Stowe and its surrounding areas well over 20-30+ years and continues to grow and progress with every season.
The familiarity of the classics and the excitement of the newly built trails brings enjoyment from sunup to sundown. Take any number of turns off the new age flow trails and find yourself on blasts from the past that are riding as good as the day they were built. If you know where to stick your head or the right person to ask, you may even stumble across an occasional jump line or hidden freeride zone. There were even small lines from the original New World Disorder movies filmed in the area.
There are many reasons I look forward to the annual return trip home to Vermont each fall. The dirt is perfect, the scenery and foliage are spot on and the weather is ideal for riding. With mid-season responsibilities waning and the increase in daily shred sessions with friends, fall becomes the best time of year.
Thanks to everyone that supports me and allows me to live the good life!
Cheers,
Dylan Conte
