Richmond Mountain Trails meets Fellowship of the Wheel (RichFellow)
Tour 5 MTB Networks- Chamberlain Hill, Cochrans, Sleepy Hollow, Hinesburg Town Forest and Carse Hill. Not a ride for the faint of heart. All of this terrain is challenging. Leaving a resupply vehicle at Hinesburg Town Forest is not a bad idea as you will pass through that lot twice.
