4 Steps to Ride Success at Roam:
1. Snag Your Add-Ons
There are a finite number of Guided Ride, Shuttle, and Demo passes that will all sell out. Snag your Add-Ons with your event registration.
3. Start at the Ride Zone
Looking for more info on shuttles, DIY group rides, guided rides, general trail beta, hydration, or anything even remotely ride related?
Head to the Ride Zone!
4. Sign Up, Be Prepared
Many of our workshop rides, and all of our Guided Rides & shuttles require signing up with our Ride Beta experts. Remember, always arrive to your ride prepared and early!
Level up your weekend at Roam with expertly curated rides supported by our local Ride Guides.
What makes Guided Rides slap? Well, a few things:
- Leave the navigating to us! With over 280 miles of trail in the Grand Valley, it's tough to know the best routes and how to ride them.
- Our Ride Beta experts will place you on a ride that's just right for your experience, pace, hopes and dreams
- Small group size with max 6 riders plus a Ride Guide
- The ability to sign up for any shuttle to any trailhead, even if you are headed out for a DIY ride.
- Our commitment to keeping rides fun-first.
Sound good? We thought so too. Guided Ride passes go quick, so snag one while you can.
