Dakota Cyclery
Mountain Bike Adventures
Day Tours
A Guided Mountain Bike Adventure is a great way to experience the splendor of the North Dakota Badlands! Our experienced guides will provide local history, knowledge of the floral & fauna, and lead the way on some of the best single track in the country. A Guided Tour eliminates the guess work of where to ride and how to get there. Our Guides are First Aid/CPR certified with mechanical skills as well! Note: Shuttles are additional pricing.
Here are a few options for your choosing. Please call the shop for any custom tour packages.
