Dreamride - Moab, Utah Environmental Road and Mountain Bike Vacations

ride-from-town Moab bicycle tour vacations

Dreamride POE titanium bicycle The RFT is not just for very fit riders who just want to ride. The RFT can be for anyone who wants to enjoy the scenery of Canyon Country from the saddle of a bicycle. It simply means we do not use a shuttle vehicle unless it is absolutely necessary or an emergency. Families or novices who reserve an RFT package can opt to pay a fee at any point to secure a short shuttle ride to avoid motorized traffic in town.

Since we added the Dreamride POE Titanium bicycle to our rental fleet, the roads and trails close to Moab have become a great alternative to shuttled rides that take up to two hours just to get to and from the trailhead. Maybe you want to ride the road with us and just don't like drop bars. The POE is a hardtail designed to be equally efficient on road and trail. A small POE uses 650B wheels and all other sizes are 29ers. The frame is very light (3 pounds) and the complete bike is from 19 to 23 pounds. Reserve or purchase a POE when you book your vacation.

Good News! The newly constructed pedestrian bridge over the Colorado River and paved bike road north of town have created new enthusiasm for Ride-From-Town packages. Company owner, Lee Bridgers, is now guiding RFT ride series specifically focused on 29 inch wheels. We literally go out of our way to assist anyone looking to use alternative transportation when coming to Moab, offering great package deals for anyone who buys a 29er when booking a vacation package. Dreamride is authorized dealer for DREAMRIDE, MOOTS, PEGORETTI and VENTANA. NO GAS ALLOWED! The Ride From Town (RFT), like all of Dreamride's tour offerings are only for private parties and this trip is most effective for 29er riders. Our warm-up rides to the trails are insanely scenic, peaceful and solitary. This is a great way to ride the classic trails near town, get to know the immediate Moab area, and feel good about using minimal fossil fuels for recreation. This is a perfect choice for strong riders new to Moab.

Our MOAB BIKE SHOP AND GUESTHOME sits next to the Mill Creek Parkway and Bullock Creek singletrack. Connections to county roads leading to famous rides like the Moab Slickrock Bike Trail and Procupine Rim are made via in-town trails just out our door. The Ride-From-Town (RFT) package includes three day rides of from 6 to 8 hours, depending on your fitness and interests. Each day ride departs from our Moab shop at a time determined by the guide and clients.

Each day ride is chosen for your skills and fitness. The trails, pavement and county dirt roads we use for this package can be arranged in a series of easy cylcing tours to physically moderate to extremely difficult distance rides. Trails accessed without a shuttle can be technically easy to difficult, but you have to be fit. The first day in any series serves as an evaluation of fitness, skills and an environmental etiquette lesson. Specific trail and route requests are considered, but only after the evaluation. We reserve the right to keep you on an appropriate trail for safety's sake. A sample of trails that can be ridden from town:

About evaluations: The first ride of any series serves as personal evaluation and environmental etiquette instruction. For RFT-3 these duties are performed on a trail chosen by your guide, but usually the best place to evaluate intermediate to expert mountain bikers is Fins and Things. For 29er pilots, the best first ride is usually Sand Flats Road with options on Fins and Things. For road riders, the best first ride is Potash Road. Evaluation rides offer challenge for the experienced while avoiding continuous vertical exposure or dangerous traffic situations.

Rental Rates and Policies for RFT Packages

BIKE RENTALS: Dreamride rentals are custom built in our Moab shop specifically for Moab's rough trails and we have a fleet of 29er Dreamride titanium hardball 29er and 650b hardballs specifically for riding road and trail. Size choices are limited. These bikes are stable, extremely capable and perfectly suited for the job at hand. Both versions, long travel freeride and front suspended 9er or 650B hardball, are available to RFT-3 clients. The other half of the fleet is comprised of extreme high end demos and showroom bikes. All of our bikes are for sale as part of a rent-to-buy program. Elite rentals are available to RFT clients. Some are for very specific riding situations. We reserve the right to refuse to rent a fancy bike to anyone for any reason. If you treat your fancy bike like a "rental," bring your own fancy bike. Our rentals are only for Dreamride's guided tours and are not available for unsupervised rides for your safety.

IMPORTANT! "Ride from Town" means "ride from town" on a bike, not a gas powered vehicle. If you arrive in town and discover that riding from town is a harder than you thought possible, we'll use the shuttle and charge our basic rates. Shuttle pricing is: $100 minimum per day for any group size plus $2.50 per person per mile. Don't even consider the RFT as a way to save money, unless you are fit enough to enjoy it. Reserve it if you love to ride longer distances and enjoy the feeling of not being tethered to the shuttle. If you don't WANT to ride from town, click on MOAB 3D. All of the other packages include a range of shuttle services.
