Good News! In May of 2008 a newly constructed pedestrian bridge over the Colorado River north of town created new enthusiasm for Ride-From-Town packages. Company owner, Lee Bridgers, is now guiding RFT ride series specifically focused on 29 inch and 700c wheels. We literally go out of our way to assist anyone looking to use alternative transportation when coming to Moab and offering great package deals for anyone who buys a 29er when booking a vacation package. Dreamride is authorized dealer for DREAMRIDE, MOOTS, PEGORETTI, LYNSKEY, and VENTANA.
NO GAS ALLOWED! The Ride From Town (RFT) can accommodate mountain or road biking groups, but this trip is most effective for 29er riders. Our warm-up rides to the trails are insanely scenic, peaceful and solitary. This is a great way to ride the classic trails near town, get to know the immediate Moab area, and feel good about using minimal fossil fuels for recreation.
Our MOAB BIKE SHOP AND GUESTHOME sits next to the Mill Creek Parkway and Bullock Creek singletrack. Connections to county roads leading to famous rides like the Moab Slickrock Bike Trail and Procupine Rim are made via in-town trails just out our door. The Ride-From-Town (RFT) package includes three day rides of from 6 to 10 hours, depending on your fitness and interests. Each day ride departs from our Moab shop at a time determined by the guide and clients. No motors allowed!
Each day ride is chosen for your group's skills and fitness. The trails, pavement and county dirt roads we use for this package can be arranged in a series of easy cylcing tours to physically moderate to extremely difficult distance rides. Trails accessed without a shuttle can be technically easy to extremely difficult. The first day in any series serves as an evaluation of your fitness, skills and an environmental etiquette lesson. Specific trail and route requests are considered, but only after the evaluation. We reserve the right to keep you on an appropriate trail for safety's sake.

About evaluations: The first ride of any series serves as personal evaluation and environmental etiquette instruction. For RFT-3 these duties are performed on a trail chosen by your guide, but usually the best place to evaluate intermediate to expert mountain bikers is Fins and Things. For 29er pilots, the best first ride is usually Sand Flats Road with options on Fins and Things. For road riders, the best first ride is Potash Road. Evaluation rides offer challenge for the experienced while not confronting lesser skilled riders with continuous vertical exposure or dangerous traffic situations.

Rental Rates and Policies for RFT Packages
BIKE RENTALS: All Dreamride rentals are custom built in our Moab shop specifically for Moab's rough trails. The fleet is comprised of twenty five bikes. Size choices are limited. Half the bikes are based on a solid long travel suspension or set up with our own hardtail frame with long travel front end and a suspension seatpost. These bikes are stable, extremely capable and perfectly suited to rough terrain. These are available to RFT-3 clients for two days rental and one half day free. The other half of the fleet is comprised of extreme high end demos and showroom bikes. All are for sale as part of our rent-to-buy program. Some of the bikes are "collectors items," generally suited to wider range of purposes--specific body type, road, dirt road, tight singletrack, extended climbing, short travel XC, long travel trail, and so forth. Elite rentals are available with daily permission to RFT clients at no discount, and only for those who respect the bikes. Some are for very specific riding situations. We reserve the right to refuse to rent a fancy bike to anyone for any reason. If you treat your fancy bike like a "rental," bring your own fancy bike. Dreamrentals are only for Dreamride's guided tours and are not available for unsupervised rides. Click on DREAMRENTALS to see the rental fleet with descriptions, photos and pricing for each bike.
IMPORTANT! "Ride from Town" means "ride from town" on a bike, not a gas powered vehicle. If you arrive in town and discover that riding from town is a harder than you thought possible, you must hire the shuttle at basic rates, if it is available. If it isn't, no refunds. Don't even consider the RFT as a way to save money, unless you are fit enough to enjoy it. If you don't actually WANT to ride from town, click on MOAB 3D. Hey, man, we have seen everything! We know what happens when stupid meets cheap. Go away if you are cheap, stupid and horny. Stick with us, if you are environmental, open-minded, love real mountain biking with real people, and are FIT enough to cruise to the trail! You don't have to be Lance. You just have to be fit, healthy and of intermediate skills.

BE GREEN! Let's face it, we encourage fossil fuel consumption when we market the best mountain biking on Earth to mountain bikers around the globe. Dreamride's owners, environmentalists first and mountain bikers second, feel the sting of guilt, so we offer the chance to conserve fuel, save money, and enjoy classic trails near Moab the way locals do, by riding directly from town. On the body of this page there is a list of RideFromTown trails that eliminate the need for a shuttle vehicle. You've gotta be strong enough for the extra mileage. BTW, this is a perfect way to take advantage of 29 inch wheels!
The Best Bike for RFT
If you are going to combine the purchase of a 29er with a Dreamride vacation in Moab, the RFT is a best choice. The DREAMRIDE RFT BUILD OF THE MOOTS MOOTO-XZ is a best bike choice for the RFT package.
Combine your trip to Moab with the purchase of an extreme high quality bicycle. Dreamride is authorized dealer of VENTANA, MOOTS, LYNSKEY, and DARIO PEGORETTI ROAD BIKES. We build our own DREAMRIDE line of full custom long travel mountain bikes from the ground up for one discriminating enthusiast at a time.
Our three day package is most popular with novices and those who have limited time to enjoy a mountain bike vacation.
For those who want just the right amount of time in the saddle, the 5 Daze is our most popular package with intermediate to expert riders.
The Moab Slickrock Ultimate is the Moab 5 Daze on steroids. The Ultimate includes all Elite perks and our best slickrock routes in a five day/six night package length.
Mystery Tours are a way to figure costs for packages that allow for odd schedules requiring gaps in your days with us.
Add a skills clinic to your package. Private groups can substitute a clinic for the first one to three days in a package. Persons booking an open package can tack a skills day onto the start of any standard package.
Dreamride was Moab's first guided day hike provider. Private groups can substitute a hike for any day in an RFT package (hikes are shuttled).
