Trips during spring and autumn (March, April, May, Sept & Oct) meet at the Bike Shop at 9am and are usually 3 to 6 hours long. Spring & autumn are the most popular seasons to ride in the Moab area. Our Private Guided Rides with MTB Instruction are suitable for all levels of skill & conditioning.
Trips during the summer months (June, July and Aug) start early in the morning with the intention of being finished before the heat of the day! The logistics for the summer day trips require advance reservations and a 5pm Pre-Trip Meeting at the bike shop on the evening before your ride.
At the Pre-Trip Meeting we’ll fit you to your rental bikes, manage Paperwork & Payment and formulate a plan for where and when to meet the following morning ready to ride (meaning that you’ve already had your morning beverage and eaten a hearty breakfast).
During the winter months (Nov, Dec, Jan & Feb) we start later in the morning with the intent of being out during the warmest time of the day. Winter trips meet at the Bike Shop at 10am. Anytime the temps are above 39F we’ll happily go for a mountain bike ride. Even when it’s cold in Moab it’s almost always sunny! All you’ll need is the appropriate gear & clothing (bring it all) to enjoy riding in cool weather.
We require a deposit to secure your reservation and we’ll need to know your heights in order to reserve rental bikes in the correct sizes.
