Mountain biking is fun! Feeling in control over bumpy and unpredictable terrain is an adrenaline rush all in itself. Once you ease into riding, you’ll learn to read obstacles, manage momentum with your body and brakes, and maneuver over the trail with confidence. All your guides expect from you is a basic grasp of riding a bike, an open mind, and a lot of trust. A small price to pay to feel like you’re practically flying, right?

What you get in this adventure:

• An experienced MTB guide with extensive local knowledge of the area
• Transportation
• Water bottle
• Snacks

Mountain bike and helmet rentals are available for an added fee of $25

One of the reasons why mountain biking is so popular is the rush of adrenaline it sends through your veins. Sure, danger is part of the appeal, but you’ll want to avoid any unnecessary risks by hiring a guide. They’ll make sure you enjoy the ride and feel safe while doing it. There is no road map or GPS technology out there that’s as good as having an experienced local guide to lead the way while mastering unfamiliar trails. There’s always more to see, and your guides know just where to go to find it!

• Wear comfortable riding or athletic clothing, preferably moisture wicking or synthetic material.
• You’ll need bike tights, biking shorts, a riding jersey or t-shirt, windbreaker or light jacket, and two pairs of breathable socks.
• Sneakers or sport shoes
• Sunglasses
• Plenty of water, water bottle or hydration bladder
• Daypack with snacks
• Biking gloves are optional but recommended
• Bike repair kit

To book this adventure, all riders, regardless of age or height, must be capable of operating hand brakes and shifting gears. A 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!

You will need to be able to pedal between two and six hours, depending on the itinerary you choose. Even the easy tours require that riders be fit enough to pedal up some rising terrain. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities.

Keep in mind, opting for the full day option means more biking, which is strenuous even if you stay on beginner level trails.

• Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to book this course.
• Children as young as 10 are able to go on trips with a legal guardian. That said, if you have a young rider strong enough to handle sustained climbs (either riding or walking their bike) of hundreds of feet, and rough terrain, then they may be able to participate on a case-by-case basis.
• If your party has minors younger than 18 years old, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

Half-day Courthouse Loop tour is the easiest, and therefore, often is the best choice for the very youngest riders.

• Only small group adventures are run to ensure that everyone has the best experience and doesn’t get lost in the crowd. For private tours, anywhere from two to large groups can be accommodated.
• Pricing depends on the trails you choose and the length of your mountain biking tour. The price per person decreases as your group grows, so it’s the perfect opportunity to go out riding with family and friends!

Tours are scheduled to fit with the seasons and ideal cycling conditions. When the weather does not cooperate, your guide will know the correct course of action to take. Whether that’s shifting to a more favorable location or postponing until conditions approve, your guide will know just what to do. In the event of predictably bad weather, you will be contacted prior to the trip to discuss suitable alternatives.

All policies regarding cancellation, rescheduling and trip insurance will be clearly laid out by your guide prior to booking your adventure. Any cancellation made within 48 hours will forfeit the full price of the day tour. For groups of four or more, and all private tours, if cancellation is made more than two weeks prior to the day tour, then half of the deposit will be refunded. If cancellation is two weeks or less before the trip leaves, deposit is forfeited. For groups of 10 or more, a full non-refundable payment is due one week in advance.
