From the spectacular red rock sandstone desert of Moab to the heady heights of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, this awesome bike holiday offers some of the best biking experiences in the world. We reckon it’s an essential bike pilgrimage for hardcore mountain bikers. Starting out biking on classic Moab trails in Utah such as Poison Spider, Slickrock and the awe-inspiring Porcupine Rim, we have the chance to explore fully the limits of tyre to rock traction. We also bike the all-singletrack trails at nearby Fruita, which is rapidly gaining a reputation for the quality of its riding. Then, from Buena Vista, we enjoy the best backcountry trails in America as we ride through pristine Rocky Mountain wilderness.To bike on the wild trails such as Salt Creek, Gold Dust and the hidden Sheep Creek is Colorado Rockies XC biking at it's very best. Heading ever upwards and overnighting in lodges and cabins, we cross the Continental Divide at Georgia Pass (3550m/11648ft.) ultimately with the delicious prospect of a long singletrack bike descent on the Colorado Trail. This is a superb, custom-made backcountry mountain bike adventure to North America, cycling on high trails that are as exhilarating and demanding to ride as they are beautiful and remote. Only a select few local mountain bikers, who have let us in on the secret, know these trails. Experienced bikers who like their biking on challenging technical sections, fast rollers and cycling extended climbs and descents will get a blast out of this one. Yeee haw!
Ride Guide
FAT TYRE ADVENTURE. The Colorado Rocky Mountains and Moab's sandstone desert provide the backdrop for this superb mountain biking adventure. This is a rider's trip with the focus on finding the very best riding experience. There's more emphasis on the technical side of the riding than out-and-out physicality, although many of the fantastic trails found in this area do include significant ascents. If your passion is singletrack, then this 95% off-road route is hard to beat. Our exceptional custom itinerary includes locations such as Moab and Fruita, where we will ride some of the most famous trails in the world. Some of the other trails we will ride are known only to the locals. The trip includes a diversity of riding; flowing trails, rocky trails, steeps, stunts and ridges. Due to the nature of the terrain our support vehicle cannot usually follow us during the day. We will get a chance to experience the real U.S. bike scene and be blown away by the quality of the riding. This is 'full-on' mountain biking at it's very best.
