Mountain Biking Trips Alaska

Follow the footsteps of Alaska's gold miners by mountain bike. Many of our local trails were originally established as hunting and trading routes by Alaskan Natives then used by the men looking for gold. Some were developed by the miners and those who followed but most offer routes of varying difficulty into the mountains for cyclists. We offer these rides as van supported day trips with accommodations at lodges and cozy cabins. These rides can vary in difficulty from "anyone can do it" to the only way up is to carry the bike over the boulders and hold on for the downhill. What they all have in common is the beautiful scenery of Alaska.
We pick the terrain to suit rider's abilities and interests.
There is something for cyclists of all abilities and fitness levels.
Prices begin at $200.00 per day per person two person minimum.
All trips are guided by Bill and Kathi Merchant, owners of Alaska Ultra Sport.

Areas we lead mountain biking trips in the summertime are the Matanuska Valley, Talkeetna Mountains, Denali Highway van supported, Iditarod Trail and Snowmachine Routes in the wintertime.
With our specialized Fat bikes we are always exploring new routes and cycling adventures.
