Reviews

The riding and routes are spectacular -- challenging but fun. The wide open vistas, endless sky, solid climbs, ripping descents, and dearth of cars make for epic gravel riding. The whole experience is well-organized with top notch food, guides, mechanics, re-supply, and great photos. There is real effort and care taken to ensure everyone is getting what they want out of the riding and routes, which I really appreciated. Very welcoming and friendly crew. Highly recommend.

What an amazing experience--better than I could have imagined. Heidi and Zander were thoughtful, gracious, friendly, fun hosts. The rides were a blast! I really appreciated the well-planned and organized support. I learned so much, riding with the super knowledgeable, friendly, expert guides: a special shout-out to Emily and Heidi, who coached me on gravel riding skills, and Noe, whose brain I picked on the next changes to make with my bike (and in what order to try them). It was fantastic not to be left to ride on my own, as I've become accustomed to doing with other tours. Heidi managed to give all of us the challenge and fun we were looking for, regardless of our skill levels. The ride snacks and meals were top-notch! Shannon and Zander were right there, on the spot, with what we needed. I felt like a pro rider, with the bike wash and lube service each day. I enjoyed getting to know the other riders, on the bikes and off. Our group as a whole felt very congenial and welcoming. Our room at the Stage Stop Inn was comfortable, clean, quaint, quiet, and convenient, a perfect place to wind down each night and prepare for the next day's adventure. I already want to come back for another gravel camp with Heidi and Zander and their crew!

Unforgettable day on the bike. Breathtaking landscape, the best gravel I’ve ever ridden, and flawless hospitality and guidance from Heidi and Zander. Every detail felt effortless, every moment a joy — simply the best day I’ve ever had on two wheels.
