Guided Gravel Bike Tours in Central Oregon
Cog Wild’s guided gravel bike tours have a bit of everything from high country roads with massive views to double track to paved sections. Our gravel guides are on the forefront of the scene and can navigate our network of forest roads, trails and paved paths around Bend for a unique ride. If you are in town for a few days we’ll get you on something different each day.
Riding Distance
The ride distance depends on the riders. The guide will customize and adjust the route based on the riders’ skill, fitness and interest.

Guided Gravel Rides are suitable for all skill levels from beginners to expert riders. Previous gravel biking experience is preferred but we can tailor the ride to suit true beginners. On the other hand, if you are an experienced rider who wants to get a ripping ride in, its on! The ride is designed to match your abilities.
