Your Questions, Answered

Getting started is simple. If you know what you’re looking for, just navigate to the appropriate booking button, check availability on the calendar, and reserve your coaching session or guided ride.

Not sure which option is right for you, or have a few questions first? No problem—reach out through the contact form or schedule a call. I’ll walk you through the options, help you choose the right experience, and answer any questions along the way.

To get the most out of your ride, please come prepared with the following:

• Mountain bike and helmet (If you need to rent a bike for a day I have one E-Bike available; there are also local bike stores that can help.)

• Athletic clothing - suitable for exercising.

• Weather-appropriate gear — in the Pacific Northwest, wet weather is always a possibility, so bringing rain gear is recommended

• Optional protective gear such as knee and elbow pads is recommended.

• Closed toe shoes - Bike specific shoes like Five Tens are the best option but if you don’t own them, something with a flat sole. Example: Vans, Hiking shoes (without excessive heel). Running shoes (not Hokas).

Coaching sessions and rides will take place on Galbraith Mountain, home to over 70 miles of singletrack trails across a wide range of terrain and difficulty levels. It’s an ideal riding area for everyone—from beginners building confidence to advanced riders looking for a challenge.

Once your reservation is confirmed, you’ll receive full directions and meeting details for your specific trailhead.

I offer both half-day and full-day guided rides, designed to maximize your time on the trails while allowing for proper setup and a fulfilling experience.

Half-Day Rides
Half-day sessions are approximately 3 hours total. You choose the time you want to meet at the trailhead. This includes around 30 minutes for setup and wrap-up, resulting in approximately 2.5 hours of riding time.

Full-Day Rides
Full-day rides are approximately 5-6 hours total. This includes 30 minutes for setup and breakdown, as well as a break for lunch and optional relocation to another trail, giving you approximately 5.5 hours of riding time.

All rides are structured to ensure a smooth, enjoyable experience with plenty of time to ride, rest, and make the most of the trails.

Bring your favorite snacks and drinks for the ride—we’ll take a few breaks along the way to refuel and enjoy the trails.

If you’ve booked a full-day session, we’ll also stop for lunch to review the morning’s riding, and talk through the plan for the rest of the day.

Don’t forget Water - hydration is important!

All rides operate rain or shine. Cancellations by the guide will only occur in cases of severe illness or when riding conditions are deemed unsafe.

For both trail rides and coaching there is a minimum age limit of 16 years. This is to ensure that every rider is in their perfect group. I do offer both rides and coaching to youth riders, you just need to Contact Me first so we can book appropriate times.

You’ll receive confirmation details, including meeting location, what to bring, and any additional info you need.

And I’ll look forward to meeting you on the trail!
