Choosing

Which bike do I want?

The honest answer is that it depends where you're going. Here's how we usually steer people at the counter.

Two things to know

One place our bikes can't go — and one place they're made for

Please read before booking

Our bikes are not allowed in the Keystone Bike Park

We no longer rent downhill mountain bikes for use on Keystone Mountain. If lift-served downhill is what you're after, Norski Sports rents for the park.

The main event

Twelve miles of coasting down Vail Pass

We drive you to the summit, you roll back down paved path through Ten Mile Canyon, and we collect you in Frisco, Dillon or right here. Shuttle-plus-bike packages start at $79.20 online.

Local knowledge

Where to ride from our door

The Summit County recreational path runs more than fifty paved, car-free miles linking Keystone, Dillon, Frisco, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge and the summit of Vail Pass. From Gateway Plaza you're on it within a few hundred yards — no shuttle, no roof rack, no hunting for parking.
For dirt, Keystone Gulch climbs straight out of the valley onto a network that ties into the Colorado Trail. The Frisco Peninsula is fifteen minutes away and is the friendliest singletrack in the county for a first mountain-bike ride. Gravel riders head for Montezuma, Loveland Pass or the old railroad grade toward Boreas Pass.
Everything is above 9,000 feet. Start slower than you think you need to, carry more water than feels reasonable, and remember that afternoon thunderstorms are a near-daily feature in July and August — most locals are off the high ground by 1pm.
