Ride BC — Local services in Squamish

I have had a lot of fun mountain biking experiences but my day to show me the trails around Squamish was the best ride day, ever. I met the owner of Ride BC, James and my guide Jeremy and they figured out a day based on what my goals were for the day. Jeremy was great at assessing my abilities and leading me into progression on the trails that I was comfortable with and could have fun with. All the while, leading me through the beautiful forest that is as pleasurable to be riding through as the trail riding. Jeremy’s no slouch. I’m 67 years old and rode an ebike. Jeremy was totally under his own power and we covered 20 miles in the woods. He had plans for more sport after we were done. So helpful to have received this intro to the area so I can feel comfortable showing up to ride on my own in the future. Though there are probably more than a few competent people doing what these guys offer, I don’t think you are going to find any better. Follow up day with James: Set up another ride day when friends were visiting the end of August. James took care of us for the day. I wanted my Friends to be able to ride fun trails in both Alice Lake and Diamond Head. James knows his way around really well and was able to fit that in for our time and showed us a really fun bunch of trails in what are the most beautiful woods I have ever seen. James is a really great coach, too. He had one of my friends riding stuff that she or I had no idea she was capable of. I learned a lot myself by being there for it as well. The day was an even better experience by being there with people I know to share in it. Grab some...

My husband and I had a fantastic time doing a guided tour with James! We're relative newcomers to mountain biking, and James picked out the perfect sequence of trails for us to get comfortable early and then start testing ourselves on a bit more challenging terrain. Thankfully, he's also a great coach; his guidance meant we both improved during the course of our ride and feel ready to practice more of what he showed us on our home trails. Beyond his obvious biking skills, we loved touring with James because he is so passionate and contributes so much to the development of the trail network - so many other riders we passed knew him (felt like we were with a local celebrity) and we got the inside story of many trails - some of which he built himself. He also gave some great recommendations for other activities in Squamish on our trip - we owe a big part of our itinerary to him! We would definitely book again with RideBC - hoping this trip to Squamish isn't our last! (I would include pictures because the scenery was awesome, but we honestly were too wrapped up with...

EXCELLENT experience, James is an amazing guide and great rider. On top of that, he knows every nook and cranny of the trails in Squamish, BC. Follow James for an awesome ride as he leads you through the town's best trails, helping you along the way by showing you the best lines to take.

Great for all skill levels, James does a fantastic job assessing your abilities and crafting a ride to match your skill level.

Not only is he a great guide, he's a great guy in that he gives back to the community by creating and building new trails.

If you're looking for an awesome half day or full day touring Squamish's trails, James is your guy.

Also, super nice bike (well-maintained and cared for) to get you through Squamish's gnarliest terrain.

Overall, 10/10 experience. You also get to leave with a nice photo to show your friends and family! Only thing is I wish I did the full day!

I will be back and plan on connecting with James again!

Definitely try it out when in town, you won't be disappointed. Ear to ear smile the...
