Whether you're going for personal bests or a leisure pedal, sightseeing or daily massage, you'll end the day around the table telling stories and making friends.

Great experience and stunning scenery. Heidi and the crew did a fantastic job. Thanks for everything.

Having not ever experienced gravel riding prior, this was a great immersion into various terrains that one could encounter! The guides and support staff provided "what to expect" for the day, plenty of snacks, nourishing food, mechanical assistance and personal support! I looked forward to the delicious dinners and technical presentations each evening! It was a great experience!

Solid communication, pre and during the bike camp (this was a camp based in Patagonia AZ). Great rides (20, 30-50, 50-70+), straight from town and hitting dirt roads quickly, with complete mechanical, human support for different riding levels, ranging from elite to the so-called weekend warriors. Wonderful food - dinners were home-style yet truly restaurant class, made with local ingredients that were stellar - the goat cheese from Sonoita, for example. Recommend to anyone looking for inspiration in the winter or any time really to get riding in beautiful country.

We had a wonderful experience, the Cyclist Menu Team was so well prepared and made us feel so good! While the riding certainly was challenging, the Team made sure we knew what we were getting into, encouraged each of us at the right time and best of all kept us well fed - wonderful food! We had a great group of folks to ride with and enjoyed their company.
