Van Support
Custom Van Available Any Time
You are welcome to ride in the van at any time – no explanation required. Some want a lift for just a few miles; others have ridden in the van for the entire trip. It’s your vacation – you decide.
We use a fleet of specially ordered and customized 15-passenger vans. Most have a 3.7-liter V-6 engine, high rear axle ratio and heavy-duty trailer towing package for efficiently moving a van full of people pulling a large trailer full of luggage and food. Each van also has heavy-duty professional bicycle racks on top of a custom-made, steelwork platform on the roof.
Van & Trailers Carry Luggage & Supplies
The van tows one of our custom-built, enclosed, 12-foot trailers. The trailers also sport work platforms and bicycle racks on their roofs. The insides are partitioned to efficiently hold guests’ luggage, food, spare bicycle parts and equipment, tools, and other supplies.
Rack for Tandems
Should you ride a tandem bicycle and are considering bringing it on one of our trips, you will be pleased to know we welcome tandem bicycles and can accommodate them on top of our van, as well as extra single bikes for tandem riders.
“Well supported, excellent planning, routes were well planned. Everything went according to plan and schedule. Death Valley and Valley of Fire are very remote and an area difficult to get to without the van support. This is a great way to see Death Valley and be able to sample some of the best parts. Thanks for all the wonderful planning.”
“Our guides became like friends on our tour. They prepared delicious lunches which were varied and healthly choices. It was well supported and my husband used and appreciated the van option. The Sonora Desert is magical and we were given tiom to photograph and absorb it’s beauty.” ~ Ellen, H., Arizona Sonora
“By tailoring the riding to be the “best of” parts of the area, I think one gets to see it all without being burdened with too many junk miles. Food was great. Van support positions were well thought out. Scenery is out of this world of course. Jenna and Paxton were close to all of the group members. Our particular group of riders seemed very compatible and bonded well for a week of riding.” ~ Alan M., Glacier Banff Jasper
