We’re riders who live for adventure. We live for experience. Join us on some of the world’s best mountain bike rides, found in the heart of the Cascade Mountain Range.

We’ve curated a list of trails and experiences that we can mold to you and your group. Choose from single-day and multi-day trips, from front-country shuttles to backcountry adventures—we’ve got a ride for you.

We specialize in guided mountain bike trips and shuttles across Oregon and Washington, exploring some of the most remote and breathtaking singletrack in the United States. Our operations span the Willamette National Forest, from the Old Cascades Crest in the North Willamette to the McKenzie River area in the Central Willamette, and the vast Oakridge trail network in the south. Beyond Oregon, we run trips in Washington’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest, showcasing the rugged beauty of the Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams regions. In 2021, we expanded our offerings to the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, bringing riders into the stunning landscapes of Lake Chelan and the Sawtooth Backcountry. Wherever we go, our focus is on delivering unforgettable backcountry experiences on world-class trails.

We’re all about creating incredible experiences so you can focus on what matters—riding your bike and soaking it all in. Whether you’re new to the PNW or a seasoned local, we guarantee a ride that will blow your mind. With over a decade of scouting and exploring, we’ve uncovered some of the most unique and awe-inspiring mountain bike destinations, and we can’t wait to share them with you. Come ride with us for a day—or days—and we’ll be sure to show you a good time!
