The Heart of the Rockies Tour in 2011 was a huge success with 15 guests finding hidden treasures along the way including the Green Bridge Inn at Red Cliff and Ores and Mine Bed & Breakfast in Twin Lakes. Perhaps the best news is that our claim that you do not need to be a hardcore rider to do this tour was found to be true and no one got altitude illness.
We also hosted two separate private tours in 2011 which tells us that our Private Group Tour focus is working. One group was the Rails to Trails Conservancy from Washington DC who chose Dakota Bike Tours for their annual field trip. We hosted them on the Mickelson Trail for 3 days and one of the staff was so excited about the Mickelson Trail that he wrote in his blog that the Mickelson Trail was one of Best of the Best. We locals know that, but to have it acknowledged by this awesome group was truly a highlight.
The second private tour was a group that selects an area in the country every year and asked us to pluck the best three days of riding in the Black Hills which we did. Again, our customization worked and this group returned to their home state ecstatic after visiting our Hidden Treasures such as the Pig Tail Highway, Needles Highway and Wildlife Loop not to mention our not so hidden treasures such as Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorial.

In a nutshell, we have up-scale on road Inn to Inn tours in the Black Hills, Badlands, and Colorado; an option to mix on road with the Mickelson Trail, the 15th Rails to Trails Hall of Fame bike path in the US; and the offering of Private Group Tours where groups can select their own dates and customize their tours with us including the option of catered camping.
Established in 2006 as the Relaxed Adventure Company and although we conduct our tours in moderate to challenging terrain, we cater to a wide range of riding abilities because of our relaxed adventure philosophy, our no-shame van policy, and craftily designed routes. Your enjoyment is our number one goal. Regardless if relaxed means you do extra miles and all the hills and mountain passes, or you are back in the hot tub in early afternoon, we help make it happen.
