Overview: What compass are you using to navigate your way through this world? What are you orienting to when chaos comes, things seem clouded and unclear? Also, wanna ride some high desert slick rock? While the answer to the first questions take time, reflection and deep consideration, the answer to the last one is pretty simple. Of course you do. So say yes to the easy one and we’ll work our way through the others together.

Cost: The cost is $950* per participant based on 9 riders. This includes all transportation to and from Colorado if driving and all transportation in Colorado for everyone (airfare and airport transfers are not included). It also includes bike and gear transportation to and from NWA and in Colorado. All campground fees and Airbnb lodging, all meals, beverages and fuel while camping and while riding and an Abide Collective Adventure tech shirt and journal are included as well. Not covered are meals when we eat out, bike gear, your bike or bike rental.  

Gear Up: This is serious mountain biking. You’re going to need a trail worthy ride and dedicated gear. We’ll have tools and support equipment but come prepared with gear you need specific to your bike. Appropriate clothing also is also a must. Do the research and bring what you need to ride hard for 3-4 days. The weather is classic mid-Spring desert, really dry with highs in the 60-70’s during the day and 30-40’s at night. It’ll be cooler up in the Vail Valley. The sun can be intense at that altitude and there’s very little shade so prepare for hours in the direct sun. We’ll provide all tents and camping gear with the exception of your personal sleeping bag/mat/pillow. We can hit up local stores if you forget anything.
