Killington Ski Club Hosts New England's Largest Bike Swap on Memorial Day Weekend

KILLINGTON, Vt. - April 13, 2016 - PRLog -- The first annual Beast of a Bike Swap is scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend at Killington Mountain, May 27-29, 2016.

Scheduled to coincide with the long-standing Killington Stage Race and opening weekend of the Killington Bike Park, these holiday weekend events create an atmosphere of family-friendly cycling fun for road and mountain cyclists alike.

"This is going to be New England's largest bike swap," said Chris Clarke,  Killington Ski Club president. "We have so much going on during this holiday weekend -- between mountain biking at the resort bike park to the Stage Race -- there will be thousands of bike fanatics coming to Killington for the weekend."

In addition to consigned used bikes, the Beast of a Bike Swap will offer new bikes, parts and accessories, apparel, and more, through independent retailers and local and regional brands' pop-up stores.

Retailers have the option to either rent booth space at the swap and set up a pop-up store, or deliver new and used items for consignment by bike swap staff.

The event is free and open to the public during the following hours:

Friday, May 27 4pm-8pm
Saturday, May 28 9am-7pm
Sunday, May 29 9am-2pm

In addition to the stage race and lift-assisted downhill trail riding, food, drink and live music throughout will create a bicycle-festival atmosphere.

Event proceeds benefit Killington Ski Swap, which offers recreational skiing and racing instruction, development programs, and scholarships to junior athletes.
