MOUNTAIN BIKE SHUTTLES
The weather in the Kern River Valley is typically mild in our Spring, Fall and Winter seasons lending the area toward some incredible mountain biking, nearly year-round. If you are interested in riding cross-country trails, some single-track or serious downhill, our community has the trail ride you want. Our local trails can challenge the most experienced riders, while other trails make newbies wonder why they've never tried this sport. Because we don't want you to miss out on any of our spectacular riding opportunities, we offer vehicle shuttles to two major biking areas in the Kern River Valley.
(1) Alta Sierra: this shuttle drop allows you to choose the following trail options of Alta Sierra, Badger Gap, Forest 90, Greenhorn Summit Loop or Just Outstanding.
(2) Cannell Trail: if the road is clear of snow and your riding abilities are honed, choose to ride from the top of Sherman Peak, or only the very exhilarating and challenging "Cannell Plunge". If we determine that the road is not safe and/or your riding abilities are not up to par, we reserve the right to alter the shuttle drop location at any time. Our shuttle will always drop you at the Horse Meadow location, unless you have officially reserved a Sherman Peak drop through our reservation office.
For last minute items that you may have forgotten to pack, no worries, stop by our full-service bike shop where we offer trail guide books, tubes, tires, patch kits, Camelbaks, bike shorts and jerseys. For special request biking items, please be sure to call ahead to ensure we carry what you need in our store by calling us at (800) 861-6553. Although we do have a full-service bike shop, our mechanic is not on duty 24-hours per day, so please make sure that you complete all necessary bike repairs prior to arriving for your bike shuttle.
Reservations are required for all bike shuttles. Please arrive at our Kernville store or our Campground check-in center, whichever is the established check-in location, at least 15-30 minutes prior to shuttle departure time to allow for bike/gear loading.
Shuttles are not guided trips, this service is strictly a vehicle drop at designated locations. Please read over our checklist of safety and mechanical items that we recommend all riders carry on local trail rides. Click here to check out the local weather forecast in Kernville before your ride.
For guided trips, please see the information provided above and call us at (800) 861-6553 to start your reservation for spectacular fun!
Alta Sierra Shuttle $25.75/person (minimum of 6)
