Why should I hire you when I can do it myself?
Our services include much more than a guide. You may
not even want to ride with a guide, and that’s fine. The
great value in this offering includes experienced logistical
coordination, experienced drivers, vehicles and
insurances, food planning, shopping and packing,
emergency communications, professional mechanical
support, lots of water and food that you don’t have to carry
on your back, maps, photos of yourself during your
accomplishment, a tshirt, and interpretive guides with
hundreds of laps around the White Rim who left their
tough-guy ego at home and just want to show you a great
day on the bike!
Why can’t I just hit up one of the commercial
outfitters out there to give me water?
Mainly because they have a group of people to take care
of, and those people paid for that water. Its just bad form.
Prepare and assume responsibility for yourself or stay
home.
Why do you go clockwise around the White Rim Trail?
Magpie Adventures supports this ride clockwise because it
is the safest (and relatively easiest) way to operate this
exposed epic route. There are more miles of cruising
along river bottoms when you’re tired instead of rough
bedrock climbs beating you down before a long, rougher
uphill finish. Believe us when we say this is the way to go.
Once you have done this ride with us, do it the other way
and see for yourself!
My friends say that if you don’t ride the whole loop
then you didn’t really do a lap, can we ride the whole
100+ mile loop?
While this does seem to be the attitude of the tough guy
population, Magpie Adventures chooses to operate fun,
challenging adventures that are safe and attainable for
more of the population. Think about it, the more people on
bikes the better, right? Custom 100+ mile options are
available for charter groups of 6 or more. We recommend
making a plan at least 6 months in advance to ensure your
custom group date.
