Kokopelli Trail Mt. Bike Trip
May 19-22, 2022
3 nights 4 days
This trip to Kokopelli’s Trail is sponsored by South Park Adventure Guides. If you are ready for great food, and a challenging mt. bike adventure, then this is the trip for you. After a hard day of riding, you will be treated to excellent food, socializing with new friends and a refreshing shower! Our typical seafood night includes King crab legs and Maryland crab cakes.
The route will follow Kokopelli’s Trail starting in Loma, Colorado with some awesome side loop single track riding along the Colorado River when we pass through Rabbit Valley Day 1, (Western Rim Trail) Dewey Bridge Day 2, Rock Castel day 3, and on our last day we will link the UPS, LPS and upper Porcupine Rim trail to have a 4,000’ decent to the Colorado River just outside of Moab (end).
Included with trip fee: All meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, water, transportation of your camping gear to each campsite, a ride leader, trained medical staff and transportation back to Loma (where our cars will be).
Ride format: We will begin riding from Loma on Thursday, May 19th at 10am, ride approximately 25 miles to Rabbit Valley, then approximately 40 miles each day to a new campsite thereafter, and finish in Moab (base of Porcupine Rim trail hwy 128) on Sunday, May 22nd. It will be the rider’s responsibility to get to Loma for the start. Carpooling is always an option from the Denver area.
A support vehicle will carry your gear during the ride, so you will be riding light. Please only one duffel per person due to limited space. You are responsible for providing your own tent (or arrange to share one), a sleeping bag, a pad and personal gear. We will also provide a suggested packing list.
We will do this trip with a minimum of 10 and maximum of 20 riders, rain or shine. This is an all-inclusive fully supported trip!
You will be expected to bring a tuned bike and a body that can ride all day but sag is always available. A bike mechanic will be along and can help with bike repairs as needed.
