Please plan ahead for fall of 2024.

28 MILES OF AMAZING TERRAIN

The Whole Enchilada

The Whole Enchilada (TWE) is a trail system for ADVANCED (no joke) riders that includes Porcupine, LPS, UPS, Kokopelli, Hazard County and Burro Pass. In general, snow levels or rain determine the drop off point. If we are dropping at the very top we do not pass by any other drop point along the way. This is an epic trail and you need to be prepared for high elevation mountain conditions, hot desert temps and quickly changing weather conditions all on one ride.

Porcupine, the lowest drop at close to 6,000 feet is the first trail to open in the spring. The highest shuttle drop off point is Geyser Pass, at about to 10,500 feet, which is the start for the Burro section of the trail and “The” start for the “Whole” Whole Enchilada.  This trailhead opens on July 1 at the earliest.  It is never open for shuttling before this date.

We generally depart daily at 8:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., however, our schedule is subject to change so please check with us when you are planning your ride. We are not limited to these times so please call if you have a larger group and wish to go earlier or later.

Our main pick up is at the Chile Pepper Bike Shop at 702 S. Main, next to the Moab Brewery.

EPIC DESERT RIDE

The Magnificent 7

Mag 7 is a series of trails linked together into one spectacular traverse. Trails include a variation of Getaway, Bull Run, Arth's Corner, Great Escape,  Little Canyon, Gold Bar Rim, and Portal. This point-to-point ride has it all, flowy fast singletrack, good technical climbing, a ledgy traverse, and a sweet challenging descent down the Portal to finish off the day.

OR you could do a Mag 5 and then exit out the Gemini Bridges Road and link up with the Moab Brand Trails area.  This is a great intermediate version of the Mag 7 and is still a point to point ride.

After the ride, you can either ride back to town or you can follow us with your car in the morning and park at the bottom of the Portal, at Courthouse Wash parking area just north of the Colorado River or at the Moab Brands Trail area depending on your exit.

We generally depart twice daily at 8:30 and 10:30. Our schedule is subject to change so please check with us when you are planning your ride. We are not limited to these times so please call if you have a larger group and wish to go earlier or later.

Custom Bike Shuttles

We can transport up to 44 bikes and people in one go and would be happy to move your large group. We can pick you up at your hotel, campsite or the bike shop where you have rented your bikes.

To drive to a trailhead and then recoup your vehicles later it can take from 1.5 to 3 hours. Why not kick back and have a beverage after your great ride? Leave all the transportation hassles to us. Plus, it sucks to get all the way back to your cars and realize you have forgotten the keys!

Please call for availability.
