Riding Distance
66 – 90+ miles over the three-day vacation. Each tour and each day’s ride is custom designed based on feedback from you, the rider, to make sure everyone has a great time. We may also split into different groups for longer or shorter ride options.
Elevation
Elevation can vary from between 3,400 feet to 7,000 feet. Expect climbing and descending on all the rides.
Rider Level
Low intermediate to expert. With hundreds of miles to choose from, there is something for everyone. We will have plenty of guides on each tour to help customize rides for all riders.
Terrain & Trails
Trails range from smooth, fast and fun to rocks, roots, logs and jumps. We’ll sample some or all of it. Terrain ranges from high alpine and old growth forests to high desert pine trees.
Recommended Clothing & Gear
Prepare for three full days of riding, so bring adequate clothing and hydration pack. Bend is an outdoorsy mountain town, calling for casual clothing for hanging out in town.
See our Bend Vacation Planning Page for more information.
Day 1:
Your tour starts at noon when you check into the DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown Bend. We will head out for an afternoon ride on your guide’s favorite local trails, sampling a variety of terrain. Our ride will end at Bend’s oldest brewery, Deschutes Brewery, for beer tasting and a special tour of this world-class brewing facility. Dinner for the evening will be at Deschutes Brewery’s brewpub in downtown Bend. Try classics like Mirror Pond Ale and Black Butte Porter or see what seasonal specials they have on tap for you.

Day 2:
Today’s ride takes us on Bend’s newest and most progressive trails in the Wanoga Trail Network. You’ll be awed by views of snow capped volcanic mountains as you grind up short climbs and swoop down fast, loamy descents. Tasty lunch will be enjoyed on the trail, and snacks are available throughout the day, and we’ll be sure to stop at the best spot for lunch. Beer tasting will follow at Goodlife Brewing Company and dinner will be at Bend Brewing Company, known for award-winning beers including an imperial IPA, American sour Ching Ching and other tasty options.
