Pikes Peak Bike Tours began in 1995 with a single van and about a dozen bikes. In 2005, Dillon Scott purchased the company and grew it to 100 bikes. In 2021, he sold it to Resort Outfitters. Resort Outfitters owners Duane and Darlene Zobrist have been operating adventure tours for nearly 30 years in West Virginia, Virginia, Florida, and now... Colorado.
Their Philosophy
“Pikes Peak Bike Tours is more than an outdoor company," Duane said. "We are here to help our clients make memories for a lifetime.”
Their philosophy is guided by four principles: safety, unparalleled hospitality, giving back, and providing leadership opportunities for their employees.
What Makes It Unique?
Pikes Peak Bike Tours focuses on safety, going above and beyond to mitigate potential risks.
For the Pikes Peak downhill tour, they provide full face helmets, full pad/protective gear, a lead van, and a support van. All vans are set up with GPS and cameras to ensure that their drivers are following speed limits and driving safely. They even modified their bikes to include a single speed, special brakes and an upright seating position for downhill riding. For adventurists struggling with the altitude, oxygen or a seat in the support van are available.
An epic adventure starts with safe, quality equipment. Enjoy an upper mid-level Trek Mountain Bike or upgrade to a full-suspension Cannondale. The Trek Rail e-bikes are very high end and retail for around $10,000 per bike. All equipment is maintained in their on-site bike shop.
Fun for All
There are tours to accommodate almost everyone.
Gold Camp Trail is perfect for families with children as young as six and is mostly downhill. Their E-Bike Garden of the Gods Tour is great for clients over 5’1” who struggle with the altitude or just want to relax and enjoy the views. Their Cog Up, Ride Down or Van up, Ride Down tours are for those seeking some adrenaline and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Age, height, and weight limits are available on their website or call for discounts, group rates and seasonal pricing information.
