What is the terrain like?

On all of our Ride Camps, Trek Travel strives to find the most enjoyable but challenging trails, over a variety of terrain, in order to fully experience the region. Moab Ride Camp is best suited for our Type 4 Riders with at least intermediate technical mountain biking skills. Type 4+ Riders will enjoy the extra mileage and challenges the avid route options offer. The terrain is highlighted by stunning views and diversity of terrain. See Itinerary for specific daily ride distances and mileage ranges options. Back to the top...

How is a ride camp different from a regular Trek Travel trip?
The focus of our Ride Camps is to build your base miles and to expose you to a variety of mountain biking trails in order to build your confidence and skills for your off-road cycling goals. As a result our rides are focused on the physical dimension and not the site seeing. We also assume that guests are more self-sufficient than our 'all-inclusive' style regular trips. Each morning you'll begin your ride between 8-9am and return sometime between 2-5pm depending on the length of the ride and your ability level. Depending on your riding level you may not have a guide with you at all times, as the group may split depending on riding abilities. A support vehicle will be assisting on the day’s featured ride but due to the layout of the trail system (i.e. road access) you may not see the van during your ride. Please carry the appropriate layers, food and equipment. Once you return to the hotel the afternoon is yours to enjoy as you wish. Your guides will ensure that your bike is in excellent condition. Any non-riding activities that you'd like to enjoy can be organized through the hotel and are at your own expense. Back to the top...

What are the daily rides like?
There is a reason that Moab is synonymous with epic mountain biking. The classic trails in the area, particularly Porcupine Rim and the legendary Slickrock Trail, set the gold standard for spectacular, unique riding that cyclists from around the world come to enjoy. With the relatively recent additions of the Moab Brand Trails, Pipe Dream, and the Magnificent 7 trail systems, the trail offerings in the area have evolved to offer something for all skill levels. That said, intermediate to advanced mountain bikers will have the most fun in Moab, as the terrain on the more classic trails requires aerobic fitness, good handling skills, and importantly, enough knowledge of your own abilities to know “when to say when.” All but the most skilled professionals walk their bikes at times in Moab! You will experience trails ranging from smooth, flowy desert singletrack to double-track roads, ledgy jeep-road climbs, alpine singletrack, and steep rock gardens with serious consequences for failure. Again, you must know your own limitations, and the rides are designed to allow for customization for the group and for the skill level of each rider. Please come prepared to expand your mountain biking horizons if this is your first time to Moab! Back to the top...

What kind of support do you offer?
Each day your guides will describe the featured ride and your supported options for the day. Those who want more miles and more technical terrain and those who want less may split into two groups in order to ride different trails or simply go at different speeds. If you choose not to ride with a guide you will need a thorough understanding of the trail map, adequate food and water, and tools to address bike repair issues that may arise. Cell coverage is limited in the areas you’ll be riding so you must be self-sufficient. We will offer shuttles back to the hotel at the end of the Day 1 and Day 2 rides (the other rides end closer to town, or in town). You are always welcome to ride directly back to the hotel for more miles on the days that shuttles are offered. Each day, depending on the featured ride, the weather, and the desires of the group, your guides will decide how best to support the ride with a combination of on the bike support and vehicle support. Back to the top...

How much cycling/bike riding do I have to do on a Trek Travel Trip?
This trip is designed to build your base miles and your technical skills, so we anticipate that all guests will have a good level of physical ability and be sufficiently prepared to comfortably ride a variety of challenging terrain. (Featured rides are in the trip Itinerary.) Guests are welcome to ride as much or as little as they like and must be prepared to support themselves if they are not able to do the entire featured ride or chose to do a different ride. Please select the ride options that best suit your physical ability. Back to the top...

What kind of shape do I need to be in?
You don't need to be a professional athlete to enjoy a Trek Travel Ride Camp, however due to the level of riding we do encourage each guest to come with a good level of physical fitness. This vacation is most appropriate for Rider Type 4, and for individuals with at least intermediate technical mountain biking skills. Please consult our Rider Types to find out what type of weekly rides you should be able to complete in order to enjoy this vacation. We always recommend that guests consult their physician before coming on a Ride Camp. Back to the top...

What is the weather going to be like?
Fall is generally a great time for riding in Moab with daytime temperatures in the mid 50's to low 70's. Evenings and mornings can be a little on the crisp side usually in the low 30s to mid 40's. Rain is rare in the high desert compared to other regions but October is the wettest month with an average of 1.2 inches for the month, and storms can be intense, so make sure to bring layers and your rain gear, just in case. Back to the top...

Can I bring a non-rider travel companion?
You are more than welcome to bring a non-riding companion. The price varies according to the trip date. Please refer to the trip page for specific pricing for a double-occupancy room. Your non-riding companion will have their days free to explore while you are riding your bike. You'll be able to reconnect in the afternoon and you can shape your day as you wish. Our Trek Travel staff members will spend their day supporting the riders, however they will have a list of suggested activities for non-riders. Back to the top...

What are the options for a non-rider travel companion?In addition to being a cycling mecca, Moab is a vacation destination for a variety of other reasons. There are a number of non-riding activities that allow you to get out and experience the vast expanses of public land surrounding Moab. Here are some suggestions:

• Hike in nearby Arches and Canyonlands National Parks
• Kayak, canoe, or raft on the Colorado River
• Check out the eclectic shops of Moab--including our favorites, the bike and coffee shop
• Rent a jeep or join a Hummer tour to experience world-class four-wheel-drive trails
