Bookended with 2 travel days to give 5 FULL adventure rides that best suit your fitness and skill needs.
-

Bookended with 2 travel days to give 7 FULL adventure rides that best suit your fitness and skill needs.
-
ROUTES
We offer 10+ routes that range from technical & challenging, to even more technical & challenging. There is NO FLAT roads in the mountains, the easier routes are on the central coast location, but all the GOOD stuff requires beyond beginner fitness.
-
TERRAIN
We offer Road, Gravel, or MTB routes. If you bring a gravel bike, we can do both road and gravel. If you need a gravel bike loaner, we can look into getting you a bike. LOTS of climbing in the area, so make sure you have good gears and good brakes.
-
DISTANCE/DURATION
The shortest route we offer is 90min, the longest is 10 hours. Most routes have lots of climbing so the time of each ride depends on how often we stop and how well you climb. Most routes start with a 2-3 hour ride before lunch, then another 2-3 hours back home. The bigger days will have 2 full on lunch stops.
How This Works
:STEP 1 | Phone Call:
We start with an in depth phone call to discuss your level of fitness, skill level, and preferred terrain. This is where we will be able to craft the PERFECT adventure for you that is challenging, but within your reach.
:STEP 2 | Craft The Plan
I will get to work to design routes that best suit you and your goals. I will offer up a few options to choose from with built in "BAIL OUT" points in case the adventure gets to be a bit much.
STEP 3 | TRANSPORTATION / LODGING
FLYING: We will arrange a pick up and drop off ride for you from the Fresno Airport to and from your cabin. If you shipped your bike ahead of time, that will be built and ready to roll when you arrive and broken down, packed, and returned to you within days of leaving.
DRIVING: You will be provided the address for your cabin and your check in and check out details. Feel free to arrive anytime.
LODGING: Your cabin will be stocked with your favorite snacks and treats, all your ride food, ride bottles and hydration mix, as well as a special gift from our family.
STEP 4 | The Adventure
You will be provided a detailed itinerary of your adventure of a lifetime. Start times, Strava routes, and information of the day.
PRE-RIDE: We start with a home cooked breakfast and coffee. All meals will be customized to your preferences.
RIDE: We then head out for the days adventure, riding at the pace you want, stopping when you need, and getting absolute BANGERS of photos and video. A full lunch stop will be planned at some point in the ride. If we have to drive to the start of the days adventure, transportation will be provided for you and the bike.
POST-RIDE: Most adventures will last 4-8 hours, meaning we are back the cabin before dinner time. You have a few hours to decompress and get ready for a home cooked dinner, by me, again tailored to your preferences. (You can feel free to skip dinner or breakfast and do your own thing, but our cooked food is included in the price.)

FOOD/LODGING
The right adventure needs to have the right food to really make it EPIC! My wife & I will cook you Breakfast and Dinner if you wish. You will tell us what you like and we can bring it to life with the best local ingredients and hand crafted to suit your tastes.
We can cater to any dietary needs, from full on Carnivore, Keto, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, or even full 100% Vegan. If you choose to eat the home cooked meals, we PROMISE you will not be hungry, ever.
You don't have to eat what we cook, if you wish to bring your own food or visit a local restaurant, thats an option as well.
