PRICING

1/2 Day Marin County 

Marin is considered the birth place of mountain biking.  Let us craft a 1/2 day ride for you or your group, tailored to your liking - novice to expert and everything in between.  Travel time to trail: 45 min.

$150 - $250 per person

Santa Cruz Full Day Adventure

Santa Cruz is probably our favorite place to ride.  Just up from the Pacific Ocean, lie dense Redwood forests with twisty, loamy, flowy goodness to explore by bike.  Travel time to trail: 90 minutes.

$250 - $395 per person

Sonoma County Full Day 

To be candid, mountain biking in wine country is better than the wine.  More of an intermediate to advanced ride, with engaging trails, rocks, and roots to challenge you. Travel time to trail: 60 minutes.

$175 - $300 per person

Urban Mountain Biking

Believe it or not, SF has breathtaking off road riding.  Granted, you have to mix it in with some pavement, but it makes for a special adventure, right out our shop's front door.

$100 - $175 per person

So...How Does This Tour Thing Work?

We like to start and end tours from our SF store or our trailside clubhouse in Marin, The Lodge.  This allows us to set up your demo bike under ideal conditions, and make sure you have everything you need before we hit the trail.  Taking time to set fork and shock pressure, tire pressure, and fit, make a big difference. We have helmets, and most popular clip in pedals, as well as platform pedals.  Once the bikes are dialed, we'll load up and go.  Travel time to the trail head varies from 45 to 90 minutes from SF - tours starting at The Lodge usually eliminate any trailhead drivetime.  Time permitting, we prefer to have a post ride libation.  We are flexible on timing, and try our best to schedule your tour around your schedule. More questions? Call or e-mail us - we love to talk about riding.

And How Much Does It Cost?

Pricing varies based on the number of people.  Our most popular tour, a half day excursion to Marin County, runs $250 for one person, $175 for two-three people, and $150 for four or more.

 

Full day Santa Cruz tours are $395 for one, $225 for two - three, and $200 for four or more.
