About Us

For the Ride is owned and operated by a group of adventure athletes, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts who travel the world in search of the best mountain biking, road cycling and action sports opportunities the planet has to offer.  We  pride ourselves on having experienced some of the best riding and most exotic trails on the planet.

We base our adventure vacations around the mountain bike for two simple reasons: First, we love to ride and live for the ride. Second, there is no better way to get to know these exotic, majestic, and beautiful places than by bicycle. With endless hiking trails, old logging roads, and even trail features, ski lifts and helicoptors, and whether you chose to mountain or road bike, there are a lot of great places to ride.

Our tours provide a unique opportunity to explore new areas or experience new terrain, and are designed to expose guests to all of the best an area has to offer both on and off the bike.

Aside from great riding in spectacular locations, your trip is all about personal service.  Our guides are carefully selected and trained to provide unmatched personal service, anticipating your needs, and exceeding your expectations.  All of our guides are mature professionals who have expertise in leading our tours.  Each has his or her own background and unique story, all love to ride and travel, and most importantly, have a special talent for making the most of a vacation and creating lasting memories. 

We offer custom trips and personalized itineraries in many of our great locations. Contact us today to begin planning your ultimate adventure vacation:
