About Cog Wild Bicycle Tours
Cog Wild Bicycle Tours is Central Oregon's specialist mountain bike guide service, dedicated exclusively to helping riders of all abilities experience the extraordinary trail network that makes Bend one of the top mountain biking destinations in the United States. Their guides are experienced local riders who know every trail in the region intimately and can create customised outings that match your skill level, fitness, and preferred riding style.
The trail network around Bend is vast and varied, ranging from flowy singletrack that winds through fragrant ponderosa pine forests to technical descents over volcanic rock and pumice that challenge even experienced riders. Cog Wild's shuttle-assisted rides are particularly popular, with guides handling the logistics of transporting riders and bikes to high-elevation trailheads so you can enjoy the maximum amount of downhill with minimal climbing. This is an ideal format for visitors who want to experience the best trails without the fitness demands of riding up to them at altitude.
The programme extends well beyond standard guided rides. Women-specific clinics create a supportive, encouraging environment for female riders to build skills and confidence on the trails. Multi-day mountain bike camps provide immersive experiences that combine riding, instruction, and camaraderie over several days, with accommodations and meals included. During the winter months, fat bike tours take riders onto snow-covered trails and forest roads for a completely different — and surprisingly fun — perspective on the Central Oregon landscape.
All skill levels are genuinely welcomed, from cautious beginners who have never ridden off-road to seasoned riders who want local knowledge to find the best lines. Cog Wild provides rental bikes when needed and handles all the planning and logistics, making them the easiest way to experience world-class mountain biking during a visit to Bend.
