What kind of food will we eat?
You won't be disappointed with the culinary skills of the Western Spirit staff. They prepare delicious energy packed meals with lots of variety to satisfy all tastes. We can accommodate any special diet including vegetarian and low-fat diets. We do not provide alcoholic beverages, but please feel free to bring your own. We have plenty of cooler space.

What if I can’t keep up with the group?
All of our rides are designed to accommodate each individual rider. We’ll have a minimum of four guides with the group which allows us to split the group based on ability. There is always a guide in front and a guide bringing up the rear. Because we stop often to work on technical sections it is easy for the slower riders to stay connected and not feel left behind.

What if the weather turns bad?
The weather in Moab is unpredictable and there is a chance that we may have to deal with rain or even snow. Our goal is to ride every day and unless the weather is absolutely horrible, plan on riding in the snow or rain. You’ll be amazed at how beautiful the desert becomes after a hard rain. The safety of the group is our number one priority and if the conditions are too dangerous we will come up with alternative activities.

What if I have a food allergy?
In your registration packet from Western Spirit you will have a personal information sheet to fill out. Please note any food allergies you may have. Our guides do an amazing job of accommodating everyone’s dietary restrictions. No need to worry, your dining experience will be delicious!

What if I have to cancel at the last minute?
Unfortunately we do not offer any refunds for cancellations less than 30 days before your trip. We recommend trip insurance to protect you in case something unforeseen should cause you to have to cancel your adventure.

What about tipping?
The most common question that nobody likes to ask. Tipping is not required, but is customary to express your thanks and is gratefully appreciated by your Western Spirit guides. Your guides work as a team and share all of their gratuities. A tip of 5 to 15 percent of the price of your trip given to either one of your guides is a great way to say thanks for a job well done.

What time does the camp end?
The camp ends Saturday afternoon. There isn’t a designated ending time because it is hard to know when we’ll get back to the condos from the ride. Being the last day of the camp its fun to stop and take pictures and enjoy the scenery one last time. If you have a flight home we recommend leaving on Sunday morning. It’s a lot less hassle and you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the afternoon with Alison, Greg, and your fellow campers. If you do have to leave Saturday evening please let us know at the beginning of the camp and we’ll make arrangements.

What kind of bike should I bring?
The terrain in Moab is technical and rough. We highly recommend a full suspension mountain bike with 2.1-2.3 sized tires with aggressive treads. Make sure your bike has a tune-up and is in tip top shape before you come. There’s nothing worse than having your bike break in the middle of a five hour ride. If your bike has disc brakes we recommend bringing a second set of brake pads.

Do I need pads and a full face helmet?
You will not need a full face helmet for the rides we’ll be doing. We will provide pads for those that want them. If you want to bring your own that’s great.
