Here’s the idea…

Your group of buddies will join me here in Bend, Oregon for a 4 day, 3 night dedicated mountain bike trip.

Where we have literally HUNDREDS of miles of trails to explore. And we’ll camp right in the middle of it all.

You can ride from camp to some of my favorite trails (with jumps and burms, etc). And we’ll do at least one loooonnng 20+ mile downhill shuttle run (starting at high alpine and ending right at camp). Also included is chair lift access at our local ski resort - for a full day of endless downhill fun.

We’ll have a dialed camp setup with comfy beds for all, delicious food & drinks to refuel, and a warming fire each night under the stars. We’ll find some swimming holes, explore a lava cave, hot spring and waterfalls, and bike until we can no longer feels our legs. We’ll even hit up a favorite brewery and check out the rad town of Bend.

Trip Features:

  • Chair lift access for 100% downhill fun on proper full suspension bikes.

  • Dialed off-grid campsite.

  • Good grub is a must. Gotta fuel up for fun adventures.

  • We'll hit some hot springs to revive the legs.

  • Hundreds of miles of meticulously maintained trails right from camp.

  • Swimmin' holes everywhere to cool off.
