About
Simply put - my happy place is on a bike, deep in the woods or desert! For 10 years I’ve been pursuing a way of life that maximizes time in the backcountry, and the ability to share that passion with others. I’ve been guiding mountain biking for 7 years, in 6 different states. What I love most about guiding is that it enables me to meet people from all walks of life and take them out onto my favorite trails - I never fail to learn something new from my clients, every single tour.

Best of Bellingham (3-day | All Levels | Private)
Welcome to Bellingham, WA — the mountain bike capital of the Pacific Northwest and our backyard.

Kettle Crest (Int/Adv | 4-day)
The Kettle Crest in Republic, WA stands out as one of Washington's most underrated regions for mountain biking. The Crest's lack of renown is largely attributed to the remoteness of its rolling hills and mountains known as the "Okanagan highlands", located hours drive away from any town with populations greater than 2000. In our opinion, this is what makes this one of the most unique multi-day tour itineraries in the state.
The Kettle Crest Trail is a 44 miles section of the 1200 mile Pacific Northwest Scenic Trail (A.K.A the PNT), running along close to some of the highest peaks in the region's highlands. Though our time on the KCT proper will mainly be limited, it provides great access to some amazing descents off the east and west of the ridge.
We'll be repeatedly treated to sweeping views of the Cascades to the west, interior British Columbia mountains to the north, and the Idahoan Selkirk mountain range to the east, with rolling highland hills everywhere one looks in the foreground.
Join a Kettle Crest mountain bike tour and we will relish the peaceful solitude of this special region of Washington State as we ride miles upon miles of flowy backcountry multi-use trails.

Rain Shadow (Advanced | 4-day)
The term "rain shadow" refers to the drying-out effect that the Cascade Mountains have on wet coastal air. On the eastern side can be found a dry, high-desert climate that is home to some of the best riding in the PNW.
We will kick things off with shuttling up to an epic descent of Devil's Gulch in Wenatchee, soak in the remote serenity of the Methow Valley, and finish up with an unbelievable ride through the alpine of Angel's Staircase.
This tour is for the avid MTBer that loves variety, technical and physical challenge, and ending each day with a delicious meal!
