We are a group of passionate mountain bikers with an addiction to travel
Ride the Earth was created to bring more people together to enjoy the incredible freedom and adventure of exploring the earth on two wheels.
We love finding new singletrack adventures and topping them off with cold local brews and excellent food. But the best part? Bringing like-minded singletrack junkies together to ride dirt.
Our Passion…
...to create and lead the highest quality mountain bike adventures on earth.
We take our job seriously.
Each destination on our list is carefully selected by our team and thoroughly exhibits the location by showcasing the best singletrack, food and cultural experiences of the region. Each trip is led by exceptionally talented guides that not only know the trails like the back of their hand, but they truly LOVE what they do.
What Sets Us Apart
One of our ongoing goals (and achievements) is creating the most unique and special mountain bike tours. We are constantly refining our tours to perfect each little detail. We thrive on creating itineraries with excellent flow and effortless transitions. We also specialize in taking the trial and error out of travel. We have done the research, so you don’t have to. We’ve already eliminated what doesn’t work and built our tours around all of the best trails and activities to truly showcase each destination. We’ve set up each departure so all you have to do is show up and ride!
Join the #ridetribe and experience it for yourself!
Our background is in customized travel. In fact, that’s all we did before Ride the Earth was born. We thrive on making our guests happy and are here for you to help answer your questions and steer you in the right direction to get on the trip that is best suited for your interests. That’s why we’ve created detailed skill & fitness outlines and labeled all of our tours so you can choose the ride style and location that is relevant to you and pair that with your personal abilities and interests.
Most importantly, we are here for our guests. If you have a question, we are here to help you find an answer. Send us an email or set up a call back appointment anytime. We look forward to chatting!
Our guides are the best in the business. They have been hand-picked not just for their skills on the bike, but because they know how to create exceptional experiences. They are highly trained mountain bike professionals and a specialized segment of our team are certified mountain bike coaches. They are trained in mountain rescue and wilderness first aid and they know every little corner of the destinations where they guide. They are also very passionate about what they do. Each day is seen as an opportunity to wow our guests and give them experiences they can’t find anywhere else. And they do this with style, personality and grace.
Each of our guides are not only truly passionate about what they do, but they are travelers themselves. They are big wall climbers, traveling yogis, downhill and enduro racers, photographers, geologists, teachers, and most have been to more countries that you can count on one (or two) hands. Sit around the fire with them or enjoy an evening beverage over dinner, and you will be amazed at the stories they share of their lives. Then get on your bike and ride trails with them and you will find they quickly become more friends than guides.
Here are some of the faces of our exceptional team:
Each tour we operate is just that, operated by us. We spend significant amounts of time getting to know a local area before we launch a tour and often are involved in scouting efforts to explore or create new rides in undiscovered areas. We ride and build relationships with the locals and work to build a community wherever we operate. We also work closely with local guides and service providers in our international destinations and they are an integral part of each trip. We also explore all the non-bike related activities in each area to make sure we’re including the best of the best into our tours. That is why we can confidently say that, when you travel with us, you are getting unique and detailed local knowledge about the area. You’ll be exposed to one-of-a-kind experiences, and you’ll absolutely be on the best trails.
To us, the terms “ecotourism” and “sustainability,” are more of a responsibility than an option. We are ambassadors for the land and for our world communities. We see it as our duty to protect wild lands and give back anywhere and everywhere that we can. We strive to work closely with local communities to ensure they receive benefits from our presence in their neighborhoods. We buy their art, stay in their hotels, eat their food, and get to know their names anywhere and everywhere that we can. We believe the world is small and we are all connected. Our actions speak volumes and we constantly strive to be responsible and respectful travelers.
As mountain bikers, we understand that our sport comes with risk. As travelers, we know first-hand that the unexpected can happen to any of us. Emergencies come up prior to travel causing us to change our plans last minute, baggage can get lost in transit, and accidents can happen to ourselves and our bikes during travel. All of these reasons, and so many more, are why we require each rider on our tours to carry travel insurance and accident coverage during their travels.
To make this step as easy as possible for you, we have partnered with World Nomads to provide sport specific travel insurance coverage while you are mountain biking with us. You are not required to purchase a policy from World Nomads however, we have worked with many companies and World Nomads is the leader in providing travel insurance that covers sports such as mountain biking and adventure travel. As travelers themselves, they understand your needs and are ready to take care of you when things don’t go as planned.
