Fifth Season 2026! March 21st.
Analog’s Fifth Season Ride and Race is a feast of mud, slush and maple syrup. What better way to experience Poultney’s maple sugar season than trudging up snow covered dirt roads and hanging out in steaming sugar shacks. Start out with handmade maple donuts and pour over coffee. Watch sap boil down while you drip mud. Nosh on fried dough drizzled in maple madness. Eat a hot dog boiled in maple sap. The Fifth Season Ride and Race features two options: A ridiculous race (secret bonus points for collecting maple syrup and completing weird tasks) and a climby, mellow paced ride. Either way, you'll visit a bunch of maple sugar shacks, meet cool locals, eat way too much good food and cap it all off with a good catered meal from the Poultney Pub.
Register on bikereg, here!
This is not your average bike event. It's a celebration of mud, maple, and the joys of riding dirty. So grab your bike, your appetite for adventure and loads of sugar, and get ready to experience the Fifth Season the Analog way. Which is disjointed and barely functional, but fun!
For 2026 we'll gnosh freshly made donuts from Whitney at the Poultney Pub and Little Seed Pour Over coffees down at ye ole sugar shack. Donut and coffee included in the entry fee!

The riders AND racers finish at Analog's retail space and workshop in downtown Poultney. There will be a catered late lunch (included in the entry fee) provided by the Poultney Pub (Vegetarian and Meaty options). BYOB this year. Post ride hangs, shop tours, records spinning, beverages, at Analog's downtown HQ.
