If you are curious about bikepacking, bike touring, and gravel riding, join us for a fun and informative introductory clinic. Learn about equipment, navigation and safety, and cycling with gear with our experienced guides. There are two fall trips to choose from. This is the year to have some fun off-the-beaten-track adventures on your bike.

These clinics are for people with a range of skill levels: Some cyclists will be comfortable with gravel riding but would like to learn more about navigation and cycling with camping gear. Some may be comfortable with camping but have not combined the experience with cycling. These small group trips and clinics will provide everyone with some one-on-one time with our guides to make sure you get the most out of the experience. Ahead of the trip departure, we will be in touch to learn your expectations and plan accordingly.

Want your own private group? Reach out!

Note that both trips are available as women's only - click here.
