The Experience
Before You Go
Know the bike fit
Arrive with your height and inseam info so the guide can adjust a full-suspension bike to fit you and avoid discomfort on long climbs.
Hydrate and eat early
Carry a 1–2L hydration pack and eat the provided lunch before the harder afternoon sections to maintain energy.
Expect variable traction
Choose grippy tires or bring a set if you have them—spring and winter mud can hide roots and rocks.
