San Juan Hut Systems
San Juan Hut Systems operates a 215 mile, self-guided, seven day bike trip starting in Durango or Telluride, Colorado and ending in Moab, Utah. The beautiful route is designed for intermediate riders capable of riding a daily average of 35 miles at an altitude range of over 6,000′. The majority of the trip is spent on U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management roads and is not technically difficult but the estimated cumulative ascent for the trip is 26,000′. The trails remote location requires bike repair skills, tools, and parts. First aid and survival skills are an absolute necessity.
Cliffside Ski and Bike rental is conveniently located two miles south of the Durango trail head and is ready to service your last minute needs in bike maintenance and equipment.
Our retail shop offers a variety of necessities:

Advice from the Master Mechanic
Daily maintenance is essential for everyone regardless if it’s your bike or a rental. The general wear & tear happens on a daily basis. Take a few minutes each evening & check your bike over. Your tires may need air, your brakes may need to be re-adjusted, you may need to tighten stuff down. Do this religiously and you will have fewer issues on the trail!
Outfitting yourself for a 7 day adventure can be overwhelming! If you are buying new apparel or replacing parts on your bike, please take the time to seriously test-ride them before you come out here. Break in your new pedals/shoes, saddle, and helmets. Ride with your new shorts/jerseys to make sure there isn’t a chafing issue & don’t forget your base layers & rain gear! We have limited styles/sizes in cool weather gear & it seems to sell out first!
If there is anything special you need, please drop us an email with your request & we will see what we can do!
Read the Bikers Bible & come prepared!
