What To Expect

VBT has hand-selected routes that take advantage of down hills, valley floors, rail-to-trail recreational paths, and bike paths.  This tour offers the easiest possible riding within a high mountain environment.   About 70% of the riding is on either flat or downhill routes.  All ride surfaces are paved.  Rides take place at altitudes between 10,600 feet and 5,800 feet.  For those accustomed to riding at sea level, the elevation will provide an added challenge. This tour is ideal for those that cycle on a regular basis. Our VBT van support shuttle is always available for those who need assistance with the hills.
