Absolutely. If you’d like one of our experienced local guides to lead the ride, handle the route logistics, and help your crew get the most out of the day, just let us know when you book. It’s a great way to upgrade the experience — especially if you’re unfamiliar with the zone.
Each zone is different, but expect remote singletrack, big vert, and terrain that’s rugged, raw, and rewarding. These aren’t bike park laps — they’re backcountry-style rides with a mix of technical sections, natural flow, and massive views.
Our trips are geared toward intermediate and advanced riders who are comfortable with 3–5 hours on the bike, some climbing, and descending on mixed terrain. Not sure if it’s the right fit? Reach out and we’ll help you choose the right zone or add a guide.
Bring your own bike, helmet, hydration, food, tools, and layers for changing mountain conditions. We’ll send a gear checklist with your confirmation so nothing gets missed.
Nope — day excursions are BYO food and hydration. We suggest making sure you bring ample fuel to keep you going and enjoying the day to its fullest.
Yes! We offer private day excursions for groups — whether it’s a crew of friends, a team ride, or a special occasion. Let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll help build something just for you. Check out our private shuttle/trip page here.
Meet-up points vary by zone, but we’ll send you detailed info after booking. Common meeting spots include Twisp (Okanogan), Randle (Gifford), and other nearby towns or trailheads.
Yes — every rider needs to sign a waiver before joining a shuttle or trip. It’s quick and easy, and we’ll send you the link after booking. If you’re booking for a group, make sure everyone signs their own copy before the ride.
