I booked a guided mountain bike ride in Breckenridge, CO. Susie Nothnagel provided valuable technique instructions to my 15-year-old cousins who are new to mountain biking and put us on trails that were challenging but doable for our skill level. I would recommend Susie to anyone that wanted a guided ride.

Great day with Graham Schoeneman. He was nice, explained things well, demonstrated skills, and made me repeat things till I got them. And it was a super fun day with skill-building, riding switchbacks up to fantastic downhills, and, of course, the bike park. Highly recommend Graham as a guide.
