FAQ

Common questions about shuttles.

Do I need to book in advance?
Booking is recommended so we know numbers, but casual riders can often hop on if there is space. Check the calendar and grab a spot to be safe.
What do I need to bring?
Your bike, helmet, and riding gear. Water and snacks for the day. We have the truck, the driver, and the know-how.
How many people fit in the shuttle?
Our truck carries up to 9 riders and their bikes comfortably. Private group shuttles can be arranged for larger parties.
Can I do half-laps?
Yes. On Firball and Veto/Broken Gnome you can choose half-laps (shorter descent) or choose to do full-laps to the top (Fringed/Gamble) for the full run. Your choice.
What if I need a rental bike?
