5. A True Biking Vacation!

Booking a guided mountain bike trip will allow you to not worry about the logistics of local travel, learning new trails from some random internet source, piecing together dozens of segments to make one ride, and allowing you to live in the moment to truly escape from the events. Guided bike trips allow you to not have to worry about planning the next day’s itinerary, where to stay, eat, or worst case-getting lost.

All you will have to do is:

ride your bike
laugh a lot

share your memorable moments
reminisce about the heart-pumping singletrack over a cold beverage and wanting to ride more the next day!

2. Local Guides

Local single track knowledge as well as the surrounding area, is invaluable when traveling to a new destination with a mountain bike. Local mountain bike guides know the trails like the back of their hand, the best access, their favorite trails, local hotspots, secret trails and the best place to eat after a big ride. Not to mention, they will also be able to show you the best place for a post-ride beverage and other local hotspots to visit on your down time. Guides will also offer an authentic local experience that goes beyond the typical “follow me” mountain bike trip. When the trail turns right and everyone else is going that way, the guide will go left and show you the better trail! Going with local guides allows you to gain an in-depth experience of that destination. A guide will be able to help you learn some of the following:

Local trails surrounding the area
The destinations culture, cuisine, customs and hotspots
Local geology, swimming holes, flora and fauna
How to be prepares and travel safely in that destination (local transportation, managing cash vs credit, tipping policies, etc.)
Guides will also be prepared to handle emergency situations and have direct access to support

3. Small Groups

A great mountain bike tour company will focus on quality vs. quantity of people on the tour. They don’t jam pack dozens of riders on a trip to just sell it out. Instead, they focus on small group experiences that allow each rider to truly ride their bike while on the trip. Joining a multi-day mountain bike tour allows you to meet guides, new friends and other riders from around the world to create lifelong friendships. The bonus of this is visiting those friends in the future and riding with them as your local mountain bike guide. Hopefully they will show you a favorite trail or two of their own and maybe you can do the same for them.
