Detailed Individual Bike Tour Descriptions

Good Morning Glide

An easy 10-mile ride, the route glides through beautiful and prominent Palm Desert and Indian Wells neighborhoods and resorts. At the halfway point, a special tour highlight features a light yet delightful breakfast at the Bella Luna restaurant on El Paseo before the final leg back. Get the cool morning air in your face, and experience the desert at a pace that allows you to truly take in all the sights, smells and sounds. See why guests say it is the most memorable experience of their desert visit.

Live at The Living Desert

Two tours in one! Riders begin a gradual climb from the desert floor to The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens. A one hour stroll in The Living Desert educates and entertains. The biking continues with a level glide through prominent Palm Desert and Indian Wells neighborhoods, featuring narrated stops at select locations. Participants will learn about the date culture of the desert, desert ecology, and other desert trivia and history.

Ride to the Stars

A rolling glide through "Little Tuscany," "Las Palmas" and "The Movie Colony" neighborhoods of Palm Springs. See the homes of such stars as Bob Hope, Barbara Streisand and the honeymoon hideaway of Elvis and Pricilla. See why so many movie stars made Palm Springs their home away from Hollywood. This is a truly unique way to see the homes and getaways of people you have seen on the big and small screens for years. Enjoy the cool shaded lanes, the smell of the blooming flowers and the fun stories of these people you have grown to love.

Mountain Majesty

Escape the heat for the morning by heading into the Santa Rosa Mountains where it is 20-30 degrees cooler. A casual roll on paved surfaces through stunning pine trees and impressive horse ranches awaits you in Garner Valley. For those of you old enough to remember, this area served as the location for much of the filming of the TV series "Bonanza." For the more adventurous, we offer a brief optional off-road foray for a taste of true mountain biking. You'll come away with a new appreciation of the ecological diversity of the area and a memorable experience you'll talk about forever. The ride is suitable for all fitness levels.

"King of the Mountain" Off-Road Mountain Bike Adventure

ABT has identified the ultimate mountain venue for physically fit thrill seekers and advanced riders. The only pavement riders will see on this tour is that which the motor coach uses to get them to the start point of this spectacular and challenging ride. An ABT off-road terrain specialist guide will lead a scenic "climb & descent" trip from the floor of Garner Valley to higher elevations. Following a brief flat leg designed for warm-up, riders begin an advanced climb up Thomas Mountain. The descent back down is the riders' reward for the hard climb, and broad grins and 'high-fives' abound at trails end. This is one ride you'll will be talking (pronounced bragging) about back home for years to come!
