Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive Whistler on your own or via our optional transfer service. Check into your room then head out to explore the wonderful Whistler Village. [Meals on own]

Important Notice: Day 1 is the day you should plan to arrive in Whistler. This may require departing your hometown one or more days in advance.

Day 2

The Full pulls begin at one of the trusty cafe's and for these days please eat alot and bring your full kit. Depending on your groups level of riding, weather conditions and a whole bunch of other variables our guides make a route choice that is never bad nor written in stone. On most full days there are some big climbs involved and we don't shuttle. We are sort of fundamentalists at wbg and our planet needs more bike pedals and less gas pedals if you get our drift. With hard work comes rewards and we provide the goods that leave you smiling like the Joker, big views and single track that makes you pay attention and see how fun a bike can be. We like to swim when its hot and we also like to eat good fuel on full days and know tons of secret spots to chill out before, during and after a ride. On a full day you can expect to be riding for 5-7 hours including re-fueling for all levels of riders. We also have some bail-out options should you bonk hard and not be able to recover with a cold drink and a super brownie.

After a day of excitement it's time for some culture with a visit to the new Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre. Designed in the forms of a Squamish Longhouse and Lil’wat Istken (earthen dwelling with fire pit), this 30,400 square foot complex has been created by the Squamish and Lil’wat people to share their living cultures with the world.

Day 3

Your day begins with a strong cup of coffee and a positive attitude as we meet at Behind the Grind or the Riverside Cafe. After fueling up we cruise out to todays choice of trail. Depending on your level of riding, weather conditions and a whole bunch of other variables our guides make a route choice that is never bad nor written in stone.Hell, this is Canada! We like to mix it up with climbs, rollers and downhills that make you want cruise all day. If its smoking hot we will definitely go swimming and ride by the rivers and creeks where it is nice and loamy. For a 1/2 day tour you can look at between 3 and 4 hours for all levels of riders. The trail choice depends on the group and their skill level. After lunch, on your own, get ready to fly on Skyline, Whistler's most exciting eco adventure! Skyline is an exhilarating cable line expedition through old growth forests on Cougar Mountain. [B]

Day 4

That was quick! Time to pack you bag and head for home. If you've arranged transfers with WBG Adventures we'll pick you up at your hotel, otherwise Bon Voyage and come ride with us again!
