Two of the below tour guides will be on your tour. We have lived & biked in South Dakota for over 20 years and all of us have a deep passion for cycling in the Badlands, Black Hills and other parts of the state. Our commitment is to make your tour as enjoyable as we can. We do this by making sure you know what to expect and helping you along the way. We also take care of “stuff” like luggage, check in, routes and maps, bike adjustments, meals, snacks and beverages while touring, and provide advice on terrain, weather and hazards. We also find out what a relaxed adventure means to you and help you get what you want. Being the “Relaxed Adventure Company”, we know that what is relaxing to one person might be torture for another person, and visa versa.
