About The Ride!

---

Frisco is surrounded on 3 sides by National Forest (75% of Summit County is public land) and it takes locals years to bike it all so you will never be bored. The Peaks trail is one of the most well-known mountain biking trails near Breckenridge, but it’s a good hike as well. This legendary stretch of mostly blue singletrack trail that connects Breckenridge to Frisco is a popular trail for good reasons. Explore rolling forested trails with lots of rocks, roots, climbs, and some killer downhill. The trail is cut out of pine and aspen trees, and at times will include incredible views of the surrounding mountains. This trail will be ridden with a shuttle to Breckenridge to enjoy the mostly downhill route back, which has a bit of uphill at the start, and is the way most locals ride this legendary stretch. This is a classic singletrack ride: going from a rocky and rooty trail, to a more flowy and speedy singletrack.

Itinerary

---

Arrive - Meet your guide in the morning at Peaks Trailhead in Frisco to load up our bike shuttle and get underway. We will go over the plan for the day on the way to the trail and be ready to ride when we arrive.

Ride – Our shuttle heads us up the hill to Breckenridge where we start this classic singletrack, and enjoy this rocky, rooty, flowy, speedy trail! This trail covers about 8 miles, with 951 feet of elevation gain and a 1,838 foot descent. As with all our rides, this is not a 100% downhill ride. Our shuttle gives us a great start, but some climbing is still required.

Depart - After an epic day of riding we’ll end up back where our shuttle started with a stop by one of our favorite local breweries!

FAQs

How physically fit do I need to be to participate in this course?

Colorado Adventure Guides’ priority is keeping our patrons and students safe. Our instructors are trained to recognize potentially hazardous situations in the backcountry. This can be a physically demanding activity, and your ability to enjoy the adventure depends on your health and fitness, thus it’s recommended that you are in good physical condition.

What kind of bike do I need?

All of our mountain biking trips will be operated on dirt trails with varying length and difficulty. We strongly encourage that all participants are on full suspension or hard-tail style mountain bikes with disc brakes and flat footed pedals.

Are rentals available?

We partner with local mountain bike rental shops, and the rental cost is $80 per bike. We take the stress away and get the reservation all set up for you. Mountain bike rentals are typically full suspension bikes with flat pedals and disc brakes, and are sized to the individual.

When is the best time of year to go mountain biking?

The best time to go mountain biking in Colorado is whenever you can get out! Our biking season can vary yearly and by location, but here in the high elevations, our biking season typically begins mid to late May and lasts through September and some years into October.

Should we tip our guide?

Your guide/instructors work hard before, during, and after your course to provide you with a great experience, and while not expected, gratuities are always highly appreciated. If you had a safe, educational, and fun experience, gratuities typically range from 15-20%.
