How fit do I need to be?

You will need to be able to bike between four and eight hours a day, depending on the itinerary you choose. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities. Keep in mind that opting for the full-day option means more biking, which can be strenuous even if you stay on beginner-level trails. Check out the minimum age requirements to see if your kids can join!

What if I’ve never mountain biked before?

As long as you pedal on two wheels, you can book the half-day tour, full-day tour, or introductory course. Your guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. Once you finally get the hang of trail riding, you will only want more! The intermediate mountain biking course is meant for intermediate to advanced riders looking to learn new technical skills. As such, it is not appropriate for beginners.

Instruction was clear and concise and she encouraged questions and checked in with us regularly while on the track. She was not at all put out to dial it back to fit our lack of experience. It was a great afternoon for us.

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.
