COVID-19 Update: While we await restrictions to be lifted, we are working on an upcoming adventure tour schedule for 2021.
Canada Rides

Adventure Bike Training
Our adventure training is designed for riders who want to master handling their adventure bikes in off-road conditions.
Purchasing an adventure bike, insurance and gear is an expensive investment. It makes sense to have professional instruction in using your bike in off-road conditions.
Topics covered include:
-
hill climbing
-
log obstacles
-
maneuvering through single-track
Whether you’re a first-time rider looking to enter the sport, or an experienced rider looking to improve a specific skill set, we have a course for you.
