Ride Overview
Through our partnership with Horseshoe Resort, Ride Guides is now offering an Introduction to Fat Biking package through the newly upgraded Horseshoe Nordic Adventure Park. This two hour guided ride packed with a mini fat bike specific skills course will take you around Horseshoe Resort and deep into the Copeland Forest, on both Groomed Skate Track and Technical Singletrack. This ride is a great opportunity to learn and build your skills and confidence on a Fat Bike as it is a very different type of riding experience. Our guides will lead you through the trails and provide you with some of the critical skills of Fat Biking which will help you tackle the unique obstacles and features we may come across throughout the day.
Not to mention, this is one of the best value deals on the planet! Book your Ride now, before someone wises up and raises the prices!

What To Bring
Riding Equipment
On top of your mountain bike, there are a couple of other items that you should bring for your safety. Without these items, you may not have a good ride and that will be bad for everyone. If you don’t possess these items, we can help you out by renting them to you for the duration of your ride:
Tools
One of the advantages of going out with Ride Guides is that you won’t need to worry too much about tools. Our guides will have everything that we might need to perform basic trail-side repairs
Clothing
It is important to make sure that you are dressed appropriately for the weather. Mountain Biking is a strenuous physical activity so you also want to be sure the clothing you are wearing allows for good breathe-ability while keeping you warm so when in doubt, dress in layers which can be easily removed and stowed. Another key clothing item is padded riding shorts. These shorts can help save your butt from a couple hours of saddle punishment, and we highly recommend them.
Logistics
Departure Point
Unless alternate arrangements have been made, this ride takes off from the Horseshoe Cross Country Centre, on the North Side of Horseshoe Valley Rd, directly across the street from the Resort entrance (if you are using a GPS, look for 1106 Horseshoe Valley Rd). Proceed in the drive way and go straight down into the large gravel parking lot and park on the right hand side (unless you want your car pelted with stray golf balls) –

Departure Time
Please meet promptly at your scheduled departure time. The first 10 minutes will be spent getting our rental bikes set up, going over trail etiquette and then we will be on our way. Tardy departures may not be able to be accommodated and we will need to be back at the chalet for our scheduled return time.
