When in Wilmington
Where to ride, be entertained and stuff your face.
Ride
Multiple cross-country trail systems exist in the area. We’re crazy about two in particular to get the blood flowing prior to race day: Hardy Road, featuring sandy soil and rolling terrain, and The Flume, with smooth, flowy trail that links up to Whiteface Mountain trails.
Be Entertained
The Wilmington Whiteface Bikefest is in its 15th year from June 3 to June 5. Must-sees include the stunts on display at the Jump Jam, the Poor Man’s Downhill and, naturally, the “Best Calves in the East” contest. Check out the 2016 schedule here.
Stuff Your Face
We know you like to refuel. Go for a scenic sit-down at local favorite The Hungry Trout Restaurant (serving surf and turf selections), or take it to go from the Little Super Market Grocery Store (offers deli options, soft-serve, baked goods, and plenty of charm).
