As the experts on self-contained bicycle travel, we’d like to share our knowledge by offering our Introduction to Dirt Touring course. Two days of open-air, informal campground discussions will be followed by four days and three nights of field work where we’ll learn the theories and skills specific to off-road bicycle travel and apply all that we’ve learned in a practical way. We’ll travel and live as a group would on an Adventure Cycling tour on the Great Divide Route: sharing meals, campsites, and friendship.

Note that you’ll need to come to this intro course with some cycling and camping skills as well as experience riding on gravel and unpaved surfaces. After finishing the course, you’ll be ready for a solo outing, a trip with friends, or another Adventure Cycling group tour. Upon completion, you will qualify for our Learn and Earn tour incentive!
