Downhilling? Are you looking for the advanced downhills support & gear trip?
This trip is designed to teach the basics of mountain biking. After this trip you will feel more comfortable riding local trails on your own and with friends.
- This trip is for people who want to mountain bike in the Colorado Front Range but aren’t sure where to start. You might be thinking “There are tons of trails out there and what if I get a flat and how do I adjust my bike for a good fit?”
- This course covers everything you need to know to get outside this summer and have fun on your bike. We will learn while we are out biking the trails. At the beginning of the ride we learn to adjust the bike for fit and talk about basic riding skills. After a short section of trail it is time for a break. This isn’t an endurance contest. The guide will teach everyone how to fix a flat tire on the trail, in the real life environment. After you have a good understanding of the skill it is time to ride on. You will learn tricks to gain power on the uphill and maintain control on the down hill sections. After a fun ride we are back to the trail head. Your guide will provide you with an area map and let you know about the best trails in the area for your level. If you don’t have a bike, no problem. The guide will bring a rental for you. Our Mountain bikes are top notch for this terrain.
- After our afternoon trips you have the option to meet the group at the local brewery to sit back and relax with other like minded mountain bikers. The beer isn’t included but the company is priceless.
It does’t matter if it is your first time on single track or you have been out on the trails a few times before. We know the trails and will take you where you will be happy and safe.
Mountain biking is a cardiovascular activity. Some trails in the Front Range are moderately flat but most are hilly. This trip is designed around having fun and learning the basics. It is not a race and is designed for beginner and intermediate riders.
Wear layers so that you can shed them if you are hot and bundle up if you are cold. Bringing rain gear, a small backpack, and any required medications is highly encouraged. If you have clip-in shoes feel free to bring them but also bring your pedals because some pedal/shoe combos are not compatible. If you do not have bike shoes regular tennis shoes work just fine.
Gratuity: The outdoor industry depends on gratuity to ensure quality in the field. Your guide goes to incredible lengths to keep you safe on Longs Peak. A tip of ten to twenty dollars per person per day is recommended for excellent service.

Responsibility: In the case that a member of the party becomes sick or injured it is the responsibility of the group to abandon the summit attempt and assist in rescue.
