Planning on coming on tour with Cog Wild this summer? We bet you have questions - and we have answers!
What your tour will include A biking route designed around each rider's ability for a fabulous time.
Professional & knowledgeable local guides, all First Aid
certified. In most cases your guide is responsible for maintaining the
trails you will be riding. On camping tours, all meals prepared fresh by your guides.
Local transportation to and from your tour.
Unlimited bottled water, energy bars, fruit and snacks.
Hotel tours include all accommodations during the tour.
Guests per tour Our tours have a maximum of 12 guests per tour with 2-3 guides. We work hard to pair riders with matched riding levels or have enough guides so the group can split for those who want to do longer/shorter rides. Don't worry, you will get the ride you want with Cog Wild. Bring my own bike vs. renting People always ask - what do others do? Bring their own bike, ship it or rent? The answer varies depending on where people are coming from and how long they will be in Central Oregon. Here are your three options: 1. Bring your own bike. There are multiple bike shops in town to pick up spare parts or tubes and we will help maintain your bike on tour. We ask that you arrive with your bike ready to ride so we can focus on riding vs. fixing your bike. 2. Ship your bike. You can ship your bike directly to Cog Wild via WebCyclery here in Bend. WebCyclery will re-assemble your bike and we will have it ready for the start of the tour. When it is time to go home, WebCyclery will re-pack your bike for you and ship it home for you (shipping costs not included). Bikes can be shipped to WebCyclery at least two days before the tour’s start date to: WebCyclery 550 SW Industrial Way Suite 20 Bend, OR 97702 Please have a note on the bike that it is for tour with Cog Wild and let us know that you are shipping it. 3. Rent a bike through Cog Wild. You have many options: front suspension, full suspension and 29'er frames and many brands to choose from. We have
a large fleet of rental mountain bikes to choose from. All rentals include a helmet, water bottle cage and gloves.
Guests are encouraged to bring your own pedals if you plan to ride
clipless with your riding shoes. Front suspension rental rates start at $25 per day and full suspension rental rates start at $45 per day.
Private Multi-Day Tours
Are available for groups of 6 or more for any of our pre-designed tours or private tours can be designed per each groups interests. We can include hotel and or camping, meals, massage and more. Let us know what you are thinking and we can make it
happen.
Getting to Bend You can drive or fly. Once you have signed up for a tour with us we will send you a packet of information including driving directions. For those who plan to fly, both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines fly direct to Redmond (RDM) airport outside of Bend. Portland is a 3 hour drive away. Once you are on tour with us you will not need a rental car. If you plan to arrive before the tour or stay longer than the tour, we can help extend your hotel room at the Phoenix Inn. We also recommend using Green Energy Transportation (541-610-6103) for shuttles to and from the airport.
What will I need for a camping tour You only are responsible for getting yourself, a tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad and your clothes (and maybe your bike) to us. We will take care of everything else from camp chairs, cooking equipment and on and on.... If you need to rent a tent or sleeping bag, we can help: 3 person tents - roomy for 1-2 people and gear - $50 per weekend and $75 per 5-day tour Sleeping bags - 20 degree sleeping bags that work great for any weather condition - $30 per weekend and $50 per 5-day tour
