We highly recommend bringing a dual suspension or quality Hard Tail trail bike with high quality components for all our mountain bike adventures.   Our trips offer a thrilling mix of cross country and trail riding, so it’s crucial to have a well maintained bike with good suspension and all-around disk brakes. This ensures your safety and prevents any issues with parts availability in remote areas should a part fail. To ensure your bike is in tip-top shape, we strongly suggest arriving with fresh tires and newly broken-in brake pads, as we’ll be doing more riding and descending in one week than most people do in an entire season. Be sure to pack an extra set of brake pads, as they are often appreciated halfway through the trip. Helmets are mandatory during riding, but other protective gear is optional. We recommend each rider brings a small day pack to carry snacks and gear to stay warm and dry in changing mountain weather. Don’t forget to pack a pocket headlamp to explore some of the mountain tunnels we’ll be venturing through. Once you’re registered for a trip, we’ll send you a complete list of recommended gear to ensure you’re fully prepared for this unforgettable adventure. Get ready to launch into the ride of a lifetime!
