ESTIMATES MUST BE BASED ON A FIRM ORDER! Estimates are ESTIMATES. Invoices are firm. If you order a frame, we will provide estimates on components and build costs and work with you to conform the order to your needs. Once we have invoiced, the price is locked, unless there are changes in the original order. Please compare prices (and hopefully quality and services) BEFORE you call. Component substitutions may be required to fit the bike to your body and your needs, but any substitutions not included in Dreamride's tested parts lists must meet company standards of performance, reliability and function.

From the San Francisco Bay area: Want to drive one of the most challenging highway routes in America. Hiway 50 is not just a drive, it is a journey. Or take Interstate 80 to Salt Lake City and drive down to Highway 6 to Interstate 70, then on to Moab via Highway 191. Click on AMTRAK TIPS if you are thinking taking the train from Oakland to Green River or Grand Junction.

DIRECT TO MOAB: GREAT LAKES AIRLINES provides daily service to Moab's Canyonlands Airport from Denver. Routes and air services to Moab change so often that we no longer post phone numbers. Be forewarned: If the flight does not get the required number of passengers, it is cancelled.

MOAB AIRPORT SHUTTLES: Moab is twenty miles from our local airport, Canyonlands Field. Dreamride provides local airport shuttle services for vacation or bike purchase clients ONLY for $35 per person ($70 minimum) each way. Please reserve at least a week before your visit. You cannot use this service unless you have bought one bike already or have placed a payment on an upcoming custom.

SALT LAKE CITY is 243 miles north-northwest of Moab. Best for international flights. Look at Grand Junction, Colorado below to be happier when you get to Moab, but flying into SLC means you will benefit from bargain fights and access to better rental car rates. Thrifty or Budget rental cars, both of which have an office in Moab, but will not allow you to drop the car off without a fee. The drive from Salt Lake City to Moab takes four hours. The beginning of the drive can be an urban nightmare. Time your flight to avoid rush hour traffic, if possible. If you want maps to get you from SLC to Moab you click on MAPS FOR UTAH. In brief, from the airport take SLC Interstate beltway 215 south---signs can be confusing, but you should be heading for the mountains. Watch for the one lane turn off to I-15 South on your right. Take Interstate 15 south past Provo to State Highway 6 that goes southeast to Price, then to Green River, where you connect to Interstate 70 and head east (left) to State Highway 191 where you go south to Moab. It is a pleasant, easy drive once you reach Price. There is a particularly refreshing restaurant/antique shop on the main drag in Helper (just before Price where the canyon opens up)-- great soup and sandwich. You cannot miss it. There is also a fine railroad and mining museum in Helper. Don't draw attention in Wellington (Well-known for scamming tourist traffic passing through)! You can shuttle from Salt Lake by van with BIG HORN EXPRESS. Lake Powell Air Service offers shuttle to and from SLC for a minimum of 4 people in small prop driven aircraft (Cesna Skywagon). Call them at (435) 259-7421.

VIA GRAND JUNCTION (GJ), COLORADO flights are a bit more expensive than SLC, but preferable. Flying into Grand Junction allows flexibility with car rentals and the drive to Moab is quite a bit shorter and much more scenic. Thrifty Rental Car in Grand Junction offers one-way rentals to Moab (800) 373-0277 or Moab (435) 259-7317. You will have to fight to get a rental car dropped off without a fee, but it can be done. Driving time is less than 2 hours to or from Grand Junction. If driving during daylight in non-winter months, take scenic route 128. 128 has patches of shade along the river that get icy in winter! American Spirit Shuttle will shuttle you between Grand Junction and Moab. Call Bonnie at (970) 523-7662. Click on AMTRAK TIPS if you are thinking of riding the train from Oakland, California to Grand Junction. NOTE: United Airlines has a subcontractor flying from Denver to Grand Junction. It is not as optimum as their SLC connection and we have had clients fly into Denver to deal with a GJ flight cancelation. The airline will compensate with a hotel room and a bus ride, but this is really not what you are bargaining for, is it? If you use the Denver United connection, proceed with caution, and if they cancel, insist on a rental car as compensation!!

VIA GREEN RIVER, UTAH OR GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO--AMTRAC: Our favorite way to travel to Moab is by AMTRAK to Grand Junction. The train trip from Oakland, California or Chicago, Illinois (or points in between) is a treat and a great way to enjoy the countryside. The train also stops just north of Moab in Green River, Utah, about a 45 minute drive from Moab. Rental cars are iffy and shuttle services unreliable in Green River.

IF YOU ARE DRIVING TO MOAB ON INTERSTATE 70 FROM POINTS EAST OF GRAND JUNCTION, schedule your trip to get to Moab in the light of day. Taking exit 202 (Scenic Byway 128--marked with the beehive) off of Interstate 70 west of Grand Junction will put you on one of the most beautiful roads in the country. The exit is marked for Cisco, Utah. Taking exit 212, which is also marked for Cisco, works as well, but puts you on a more primitive road. If you pass exit 212 and keep driving for another few miles, you will turn off the freeway at the second Cisco exit (202). It is marked for Cisco like the first exit, but also noted with a beehive marker indicating a scenic byway (State Highway 128). Pull off at the exit and go left over the freeway. Watch for the right hand turn in a mile or two that will take you to Moab. If you travel through Cisco, there are no services, no residents, just a funky general store. By the way, Hiway 128 can be very dangerous during winter months due to ice in the shadows on the road. In winter, take Highway 191 South just past Thomson. Crescent Junction, where Hiway 191 heads south to Moab from Interstate 70, has a gas station and C-Store, but know that there are no services from Mack (just a few miles past Fruita) for 55 miles to Thomson which is around 35 miles from Moab. Fuel up and take lots of water, just in case.

DENVER TO MOAB: Flying, driving or taking a train (bus service to Grand Junction) are your options, but assume a car rental at some point. The drive in summer can be very enjoyable. Winter snows, high altitude ice and ski resort traffic can pose problems during colder months into early Spring, but Interstate 70 is the most expensive scenic superhighway in the world--a great drive any time of year (with luck in winter). It will take you from six to eight hours, if you drive straight through from Denver to Moab. Frisco (just past Dillon on the interstate) is a great stop for food just a couple of hours into the drive. We recommend the Butterhorn Cafe for a great breakfast as you enter the heart of the Rockies. It is located at 408 Main Street in downtown Frisco, which is about a mile off of the freeway. There is paved bike path along the freeway from Frisco to Vail and other sections are underway as of this writing. Another paved bike path travels through Glenwood Canyon and is downhill from east to west. It can be done in an hour or two. Just drop off any bikes and riders at the top of the canyon, drive down to Glenwood Springs and wait for them. Meet at the hot springs water park. Just remember that once you are into Glenwood Canyon, you have gone too far to catch the drop-off point, but you can still pull out at a rest area to catch the bike path a bit further down the canyon. For a good breakfast in Glenwood pull off at the water park and go left at the stoplight. There is a very good restaurant (white building) in less than a block on your right. The best restaurant on the entire drive is the Sopris, which is a few miles south of Glenwood on Hiway 82 toward Aspen. When driving to Moab from Grand Junction be sure to take scenic Hiway 128 (see instructions immediately above).

DRIVE FROM LAS VEGAS Expect a minimum of one very full day or two relaxed days of driving to Moab. This drive goes right through or nearby Capital Reef, Bryce, and Zion National Parks, and amazing Utah State Parks.
