Element Sports is proud to offer guided tours in the greater Shenandoah area! We love adventure, so we have developed a full range of adventures for you to enjoy. Our experience with the local roads and trails, combined with our dedicated and flexible team mean that we are able to offer fully-custom adventures!  We want your experience to be unique and one-of-a-kind; our tours focus around you and not what we want to push on you. When you sign on for a tour with us, we will work with you to design the adventure around your goals, fitness level, and experience. Easy, hard, relaxed, aggressive — it’s your tour!

Most of our tours include at least one meal, and we partner with local caterers to provide delicious and nutritious food that will sustain you for the adventure. Not only will the adventure be unique, but the food will be as well. We can accommodate those with food allergies, just be sure to let us know.

We are also happy to provide extra services to help expedite your trip. Need to ship your bike ahead? No problem, ship it to our shop and we’ll have the bike assembled for you when you get here. We can also pack it back up and ship it out for you.* Don’t have a bike? We offer  rentals at a discounted rate for those taking a cycling adventure with us.

We also are happy to work with schools and church groups at discounted rates. Call for details.

Cycling Adventures

• Day/Multi-Day Adventures
• Mountain Biking
• Road Cycling
• Gravel Grinding
• Rail-Trails
• Bikamping (yep, that is biking combined with camping. Extra fun!)
• Winery and Farmers Market Tours

All of our tours feature a professional local guide who knows the area and the routes and will make your trip the adventure of a lifetime. Generally, our cycling tours will also feature a mechanic with basic items to cover mechanicals (flats, etc). Should a larger malfunction occur, we will take your bike back to the shop for service or can provide a rental at a discounted price.

Hiking/Backpacking Adventures

We are also excited to share some of the best hiking and camping in the world! We have thousands of miles of hiking trails in the Shenandoah valley, not even counting the several hundred miles of the famous Appalachian Trail. We will be glad to help you create awesome hikes that will take in some of the majestic views of the Blue Ridge. Our guides will be happy to take you on short day hikes that will accommodate anyone of any ability to demanding hikes for only the sturdiest of hikers. Want to hike for a weekend or even a whole week? We’re happy to take you on a backpacking adventure that will give you memories for a lifetime. Just like our cycling adventures, our hiking and camping trips are custom-tailored to your needs and desires.

Self-guided Adventures

Want to tour on your own, but not sure what would be good routes? We can help you there, too! We will design custom routes for you based on your location, desired type of ride, length, difficulty, elevation gain, etc. We will provide you with cue sheets and a GPS file so you can use your phone or cyclocomputer to navigate. We will even make note of important features along the route, like stores, historical landmarks, etc. $40 per route.
