With a special thanks to the Fellowship of the Wheel, our mountain biking has never been better!  Our specialty here at Sleepy Hollow is our intermediate and advanced single track, of which we have ~ 20km.  Come bike our 5 mile Yellow loop and take a self guided tour around our trail system.  Also popular is our orange Tatooine loop with it's epic burmed descent crafted by our expert trail stewards Jeff Hildebrand & Dave Kelly.  Our Skywalker singletrack is probably our most biked trail, and heads up to Butternut Cabin where the view is fantastic. Yoda is very popular for our expert riders.  Come for the challenge, come for the fun!

Sleepy Hollow's trail system also connects to the Hinesburg Town Forest and Carse Lands, where many miles of single track have been professionally constructed by the Fellowship Of The Wheel. The connector trail (~ 2 miles from our lodge to the entrance to the town forest trail system) is mostly downhill and challenging, but combining Sleepy Hollow's trail system with the Hinesburg Town Forest (and Carse) allows for a fantastic amount of great riding to be had. Exploring both trail systems takes at least two good days of riding for most intermediate/advanced riders.

All users of the trail system must sign in at the Sleepy Hollow Inn and pay the trail fee (FOTW members ride for free, but still must sign in). This can be done at our Kiosk in front of the bike shop during all daylight hours, or in our bike shop if we're around. FYI a hose is available to wash down your bikes, located in front of the bike shop near the stone wall.
