Ride Like a Local

The North Shore is where freeride mountain biking was born, and it's still one of the best places on Earth to ride. Our guided tours take you into the heart of Fromme, Seymour, and the best gravel routes in the valley — with guides who've been riding these trails for years.

Whether you're chasing technical descents or want a flowy gravel spin through the Seymour Valley, we match the ride to your ability and style. Half-day or full-day options. High-quality rental bikes available.
