Mileage: 26-35 miles Alcohol Percentage: 0-6.3% Note: Each day's mountain biking route can vary depending on feedback from you, the rider. With hundreds of miles of trail to choose from we exercise the right to change up our routes to ensure you have the best vacation possible. We can also split into groups if the rider level varies throughout the group so those who want technical and/or punishing can get it while others get a frolick through the woods.
