VAN!
GET IN THE
How ya gonna ride all day if you don't start early?
​
Boys and girls, prepare yourself for a big day out. You'll be chewing through a HUGE amount of vert, wheelin' through some amazing terrain, and reaping the luxury of having ride support and transportation at your disposal. There's simply no better way to experience High Sierra riding as you uncover some of the finest trails around.
​
Our GET IN THE VAN! outings are meant for experienced riders. Yes, it's a day spent shuttling, but you’ll be covering lots of terrain both up and down. This requires that you manage your time and resources for 5+ hours. Starting early and finishing late, it's best to clear your schedule for the day. Get ready to climb a bit, descend a lot and hold on for one helluva ride!
​
Please take note that these shuttle epics are designed for intermediate & advanced riders. We keep these trips limited to 9 riders to offer the best experience to everyone. Each departure requires a 5 rider minimum and there are public and private options on offer. If you have a crew and want to pick your preferred dates that aren't listed below, give us a call and we can set you up with a private shred session.
​
What's Included: Driver & shuttle transportation throughout the day, on-bike trail sweep guide (to help with any mechanicals and issues that may arise while riding), digital route maps, pack lunch, as well as post ride beverages and snacks.
