Dreamride's Most Popular
Moab Mountain Bike Vacation
The Five Daze package includes: Six nights of accommodations to suit your needs and budget. Five mountain bike rides of from four to eight hours in duration on Dreamride's custom routes in the desert, canyons and mountain lands surrounding Moab, Utah. Transport to and from the trail each day. Tech support, riding tips, and personal guiding and interpretation. Special rates on bike rentals (pay for three days, get two days free). Access to our shop mechanic, needed accessories, components, bikes and parts. Information on Moab's restaurants and attractions is generously offered. Special local discounts are granted to Dreamride clients at some local businesses.
Flexible Skills-Specific Ride Series
About Skills Evaluations: The first day of any series serves as a skills and fitness evaluation, environmental etiquette lesson, and basic instruction in techniques specific to Moab's challenges. Go to SKILLS INDEX to begin your skills training. Evaluation Day duties are usually performed in one of three areas chosen for this task. These areas present riders with real challenges without extreme vertical exposure in places with relatively easily access in case of an emergency. These areas are among the best, with loads of the beauty and challenge Moab is famous for.

SMOKE YOUR BUDDIES BACK HOME!
SLICKROCK SKILLS CLINICS can be part of any package in Moab. Play and learn on unimagined landscapes of sandstone by choosing to add or substitute one or two days of intensive skills instruction. Enjoy Moab's unique geology; huge slickrock domes, deep chutes and sandstone moguls. Learn tricks and action photography. Take photos better than the magazines. One day clinics are taught by our Moab guides. Action photography is taught by Lee Bridgers, company owner. Offered to riders of all skill levels. Especially effective for intermediates.
Choice of Accommodations
Lodgings are near to our Moab house and shop, carefully selected to suit your budget and desires for comfort, convenience and luxury. You can book your own lodgings, but we know the ropes, the best rooms and you end up paying the same price but without the hassle. A block away from our home is a converted whore house from the old town of Cisco that was floated down the river and turned into a hotel. The Gonzo Inn, Moab's best, is right next door. If you are interested in combining all of the absolute best services we offer in Moab in a five day package, try the MOAB ULTIMATE, a luxurious private mountain bike vacation based on this same Five Daze plan but including upscale accommodations and all ELITE LEVEL perks such as transport in our Toyota Sequoia, extended range, more difficult rides, access to Elite Rentals, plus supervision and/or guiding by Lee Bridgers. Elite groups may be served by two guides, depending on trail needs. Elite groups also gain access to our private home's after-ride comfort and convenience.
Skill level rating for each package is determined through interview with the first individual, couple or group to book a specific date. You may request rides gleaned from our network of connecting MOAB TRAILS, but we reserve the right to guard your safety by placing you on trails appropriate to your skills and fitness. Many custom routes such as Elite level freeform and blindfold wilderness trails are TOP SECRET to preserve the trails and the solitude we crave. A first day's bike/eco skills evaluation determines rides to follow. Maximum group size is four (rarely five) for open packages. Groups of up to eight are allowed for private bookings only. Guide to guest ratio is four to one, depending on skills, experience, compatibility and maturity of the group. Extended services, such as a guide for every two riders to further increase safety, are available. For off-season weather conditions, or for private groups searching for a variety of activities, combine mountain biking with hiking, fourwheeling, photography, canyoneering, or skiing (season allowing). During summer months we recommend a hike/swim or bike/swim combo for a day in the series. We access a canyon oasis where the water is clear and cool, the waterfalls spectacular.
Sample Advanced Level Itinerary
Add $50 per day per person ($100 minimum) for remote mountain singletrack rides in the series. If you are at least an intermediate skilled rider and singletrack affectionado, the very best is within our grasp from Moab. Singletrack rides in nearby mountain ranges require from 45 minutes to two hours of driving each way to access trailheads. Mountain rides are usually possible from July 1st to October 31st.
DAY 1
Entrada Slickrock Tongue "orientation day." Moderate to advanced slickrock, sand, and ledges and a steady climb and fast descent offer the chance to adjust to Moab terrain and get some pointers on how to smooth out your style for the bumbs to come. This is where you learn about the Cryptobiotic soil crusts and the importance of being careful in a fragile environment. You will see pristine vegetation, juxtaposed with lands damaged by mountain bikers. You will also see dinosaur bone, gastroliths and tracks. You will get a dose of technical slickrock. Spectacular scenery. For Elite level advanced riders there are alternate extended routes into more technical slickrock areas. If you are into mining history or love old machinery and dark shafts, there are copper and uranium mines here. Just ask to see them. SAMPLE PICTURE.
Quasimoto. A step up. Breathtaking scenery and technical terrain make this a ride where you have to stop every now and then to take it all in. You may wish to do more than one ride with us out here. Great slickrock freeform. Sand and ledges on a long climb. Downhill speeds along the edge of a cliff expanse. Pictured in the photo above. SAMPLE PICTURE. SAMPLE PICTURE.
Eagle's Perch. Step up to 2200 feet of climbing, slickrock, loose rock, ledges, an eight mile downhill run, and vistas that give you an excuse to get your lungs back. There are opportunities for extended mileage if your legs are up to the task. We visit bizarre rock formations and other geological points of interest. Don't forget the camera! SAMPLE PICTURE.
Sample Elite Level Rides: Behind the Rocks Epic or The Gap Epic. These are among the most magical, technicallly challenging and physically difficult rides we offer. Either can be considered brutal or simply be a great desert trek through tight canyons and across great vistas. All surfaces! Variety, scenery, serious physical and technical challenges, remote location and rare solitude mean these choices are for advanced to expert riders only. For intermediates we can trim the course a bit, but if you are a strong biker we do the whole thing with freeform thrown in. For pictures of this ride click on ADVANCED TRAILS and scroll down the page once it has loaded. There are also great photos of Behind the Rocks in our skills clinic SLIDESHOW. Photos of The Gap can be found at SECRETS.
Sample Elite Level Rides: The Devil's Playground or Red House. Step up to the absolute cream of slickrock riding--lots of spectacular scenery, and a chance to learn how to sidehill, ride the sand, and hammer the moguls. These areas allow for hardcore bike surfing or an easy or technical cruise along slickrock to enjoy more swoops on the smooth surface and shockingly beautiful scenery. For sample pictures go to BIKE SURFING or VENTANA LA BRUJA TESTING.
