Covid Mitigation Procedures: How Your Multi-day Trip Will Work

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE TOUR

COVID/HEALTH PROCEDURES

PRIOR TO YOUR TRIP DEPARTURE:

We will have you sign a waiver prior to your arrival. We require that you agree to provide your own mask and wear it when requested by our staff. We ask that you inform us if your health situation changes in the 2 weeks prior to your trip.

UPON ARRIVAL AT YOUR MEETING POINT:

  1.  We will ask you to wash your hands upon arrival and wear your mask when indoors at our office or at another meeting place and also when within 6 feet of each other and our staff.
  2. We ask that you have your mask handy throughout the tour and while you won’t need to ride with your mask on, in the event that you need first aid/medical attention, your mask must be quickly accessible to provide first aid to you.
  3. We will be disinfecting surfaces that you or others may touch and we will ask you to wash hands when moving from one task to another such as from packing your gear up in our dry bags and then moving to having your rental bike fitted.
  4. Any food service will be served to you rather than having any sort of a buffet offering as we have done in the past. Our staff can pour your coffee and hand out food, snacks and/or lunches. We are minimizing any points of multiple contact between guests and our staff.
  5. Our bikes and rental helmets are washed and disinfected after each use.

TRANSPORATION TO TRAILHEAD:

    1. We will ask you to wash your hands and put your mask on before entering our vehicle. Please wear your mask for the duration of the ride.
    2. We disinfect our vehicles after each use.

WHILE ON TOUR:

    1. You can expect to wash your hands frequently throughout your tour and we have hands free wash stations.
    2. We ask that you report any changes to your health while on tour immediately to your guides.
    3. Your guides will ask you to use your mask if they are assisting you with bike fit or close contact instruction or when rendering first aid to you.
    4. Food service including all snacks may be served by your guides so there may not be group access to a snack box or buffet type meals. Each meal or snack stop will have food dispensed by your guides after they have washed/sanitized their hands and/or gloves will be used. We may ask that you put your mask on when food is being served due to the close proximity to our staff while serving.
    5. Water dispensing may be allowed by guests with hand wash/sanitize prior to each use.
    6. Access to drink cooler may be allowed by guests with hand wash/sanitize prior to each use.
    7. Toilet facilities – we require that you wash hands prior to and after using toilet facilities.
    8. There may be other instances where guides may request that guests wear masks due to close proximity to guides and/or other guests.
    9. We do have procedures for handling any suspected cases of Covid-19 virus either with a guest or staff member while on tour.

Please note that these procedures are subject to change and we will do our best to notify you of changes in a timely manner!
