Back Country Excursions of Maine offers mountain biking tours, biking adventure vacations, biking brewfest, trail biking, cycling clinics, multi-sport tours, family biking tours, teen biking, and Maine extreme riding.
Located in a remote, secluded area in the foothills of the White Mountains, the center has become a mecca for mountain biking enthusiasts of all abilities. The rich diversity of trail systems offers exceptional recreational riding, while also providing an excellent opportunity for multi-sport adventures...a fleet of bikes, canoes, and innertubes is always ready to go!
Our rustic, all-wood-heated mountain lodge provides a large, inviting gathering space for everyone with lots of overstuffed chairs and sofas, games, and lots of biking magazines. When weather permits, we eat out on our screened-in flagstone porch, and the cedar, wood-fired hot tub on the back deck never seems to stay empty for very long.
Accommodations at BCE include: private guest quarters with double beds and a shared bath, our bunkhouse (group space) is an airy, screened, sky-lit Yurt which houses up to 10 adults comfortably, and our campsites are private and fully equipped with wash stations, showers, and toilet. All packages include food and lodging. One day rates also available.
We also offer several annual events and group activities. If you're looking for a festive, party atmosphere, we can guarantee it during our annual events. You can expect a moderate crowd (limited enrollment) with a wide variety of group rides and activities, and our sponsors always supply us with plenty of prizes and swag! Great music, fantastic food, swimming, and excellent small group rides are the cornerstones of each of our events.
