Curated Rides

A Curated Ride is an adventure designed by us, tailored to meet your needs, goals and interests.

Dirt or pavement, beginner or advanced, we can all benefit from the observation of a keen eye to guide us. Much like life, cycling is mostly about balance and confidence; if you maintain the correct position and believe in yourself, success will follow. Connecting your mind, body, and spirit in a perpetual positive feedback loop will begin to show you that anything is possible on the bike, and off. Each year we broaden our knowledge base to include more places and rides beyond our fantastical Roaring Fork valley where we know the roads and trails up and down after living and cycling here for the last 18 years.

New to cycling? Book an hour session to learn the nuances of your bike- shifting, braking, cornering, climbing. Build your confidence and gain knowledge quickly to move smoothly through the beginner to intermediate phase.

Looking to push yourself to the next level? Schedule an hour, or more, with us. After discussing your needs and goals we will determine the best option for you.

We offer the route, guide, and support.

Route: Where would you like to ride? What do you want to experience? Do you have your own map to follow? We will work with you to create the real life version of your dream.

Guide: Do you want someone to ride with you? Or do you need someone to show you the way? No problem. We can ride far and wide, slow and fast, climb and fly downhill on your flank, be the trail blazer or chase.

Support: Don’t want to carry all your gear for a full day adventure? Do you want to make sure you are prepared for any eventuality? Are you concerned about the distance of a roundtrip ride? We can provide any and all of the following support for an additional expense:

  • driver

  • food and hydration

  • mechanic

Road Cycling

Riding on pavement is all about efficiency. Speed comes from removing everything unnecessary and turning it into forward motion. Riding up Independence Pass requires a combination of physical ability, mental toughness, and emotional stability. Riding down is just as challenging but in a different combination. We can work on all three elements to build confidence and capability gradually until you are able to say “yes” to anything you would like.


Gravel Biking

Gravel provides another layer of adventure. The forest and mining roads of Colorado access country that “normal” people don’t go. It’s steeper, rougher, lonelier, just like cycling in the 1920’s. And the 1980’s when mountain biking was first beginning to gain traction, before the flow trail was even conceived, when adventure and a little bit of blood meant it was real. Keep going until you get to the end of the tarmac, then find out who you really are.

Mountain Biking

Venture completely off the pavement into the three-dimensional world to find true freedom on a bicycle. Having the balance, agility, technique and confidence makes mountain biking a reasonable challenge and a wonderful adventure each time you go out. Our bike parks have a range of challenges that let you dial in specific tasks that we can build at your pace to get you ready for the hundreds of miles of single track trails this valley offers.
