What a great experience! Had 7 college friends coming to Bend to connect. Cog Wild provided top-tier mountain bikes for everyone (Santa Cruz and Ibis), adjusted to each person's height and weight. Two guides led our group through Phil's trails with alternative paths for people with different skill and fitness levels. They kept the experience super positive and everyone enjoyed local beers at the end. Would do it again.

I love taking shuttles with Cog Wild and highly recommend them. As a Bend resident, I really miss their in town pickups which is why I gave the 4 star rating over a 5. It used to be such a breeze to ride to their old location in town but their current location is a much further so I have to drive, which is much less convenient. I would love to see them do a pick up a couple days a week in town; it would be worth getting a season pass again!
