About Us

At Whistler Bike Guide our guides bring a passion and commitment to each ride that just feels right. The trails seamlessly weave together in combinations that stretch from ½ day journeys to multi-day cross-country adventures. We like to tread lightly and move in small groups and leave no trace except our tire patterns. Our guides carry all the stuff to do trail-side repairs and we encourage everyone who rides with us to do the same because we get into some remote areas. Our guides will steer you towards trails that are hidden gems along with area favourites. Wicked climbs and rolling ridge lines followed by mind-blowing descents that flow beautifully down to the valley floor. When you join Whistler Bike Guide for one of our classic Mountain Bike tours you get the guides and trails that will both suit and challenge your riding and fitness ability.

Whistler Bike Guide started as a printed trail guide book created by Charlie Doyle and Grant Lamont in 1990 in an effort to record and enshrine hand built trails in the Whistler region. For over 25 years they published the trail guide putting all of the profits from sales back into the trails. Grant also began guiding and taking media out to ride these great yet challenging trails and for over 30 years Whistler Bike Guide has delivered incredible 2 wheeled experiences.

Our guides have decades of riding experience in the region as well as a great connection with the culture and natural landscape which they will share with you. Book one of our ½ day, full day or custom group tours today and discover the difference.

Grant was fundamental to the emergence of the Whistler bike scene. He can usually be found at the top of gruelling climbs but he's also a fan of the more mellow trails around the valley.

After moving to Whistler from the UK five years ago, Gemma discovered the joy, freedom, and challenge of riding in one of the greatest mountain bike meccas of the world. She loves this sport and these mountains, and is always stoked to show you our amazing local trails, fun line choices, and ensuring you stop to enjoy the epic views along the way.
