Itinerary
Day 1 – Our guides will meet you at the Inn at 8 AM and we’ll take care of bike fittings and any last-minute details. Today we’ll ride directly from town and get acquainted with the trails, bikes and high-altitude riding. Plan to rideThere are plenty of options to make this ride longer or shorter as some folks may feel the high elevations. Panoramic views of Mt. Crested Butte and the surrounding Elk mountains will astound you and rolling terrain make this is an excellent first day ride; the riding is challenging, but not too technical. Everything is within walking distance of your lodge.
Day 2 – Today’s ride will be either Deer Creek or Teocalli Ridge. This ride ends near Gothic Mountain, which is a prominent peak you’ll see from town, and we’ll pass through the town of Gothic on our way back to town. Rocky Mountain Biological Institute sets up a summer research station here and it’s always interesting to see what they are studying. This is classic Crested Butte ride with some challenging climbing sections and super fun singletrack trail riding. The Rocky Mountains are spectacular in the summer, particularly for the wildflowers, and you’ll find yourself wanting to linger in the backcountry as long as you can each day.
