Overview
Canyon Ranch’s Gravel & Grit Cycling Adventure with Rebecca Rusch is a four-day, all inclusive cycling and whole-body experience designed for anyone ready to move, heal, and reconnect no matter where you are on your cycling or life journey. This retreat is for those seeking community, adventure, and a deeper sense of well-being, mental wellness and personal renewal.
Over four days, you’ll explore the breathtaking Sonoran Desert on guided gravel and mountain bike rides, with options for all experience levels. Our approach centers on restoration, confidence, and joy in movement—not racing. Alongside the rides, you’ll join reflective sessions and fireside conversations that nurture resilience, clarity, and emotional well-being.

You’ll also have access to a full suite of Vitality offerings—massage, red light therapy, cryotherapy, sound healing, pools, and more—to support your body and spirit.
Expect meaningful connection, family-style meals, and time to reset, recharge, and rediscover what’s possible for your body and mind. We welcome those navigating life transitions, healing from setbacks, or simply seeking a supportive space to grow and strengthen your mental wellness alongside your physical health.
If you’re looking for a transformative getaway that restores, strengthens, and inspires, Gravel & Grit is your place. Join Rebecca and a community of like-minded adventurers for an unforgettable week of movement, reflection, and desert magic.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I attend this event?
This special event is open to all resort guests. You can come for two days, or stay all week and enjoy the programming featured in this event as part of your all-inclusive stay.
To get the most enjoyment from this event, we recommend you come on our Personal Discovery Designed Experience, which includes your choice from up to 35 of our guest-favorite services daily.
Do you have early check-in or late check-out?
You are welcome to arrive as early as 8 AM to enjoy the property. While rooms are ready by 3 PM, we suggest packing workout clothes in your carry-on so you can start exploring right away. A Wellness Guide will be available, and lunch is included for early arrivals.
On departure day, check-out is at noon, but you’re invited to stay and enjoy the resort until 5 PM, with lunch as your final meal.
What is your cancellation policy?
Our standard policy requires a two-night deposit at the time of booking, fully refundable up to 21 days before arrival; deposit is forfeited with less than 21 days’ notice.
Can I bring my own bike?
Absolutely! You can also ship your bike to Canyon Ranch to avoid traveling with your bike. They are able to build it up for you and have it ready to go. Please coordinate with Canyon Ranch before shipping
Do I have to bring my own bike?
No there will be bikes available at Canyon Ranch.
Is this for hard-core cyclists?
No, this retreat is for every cyclist who is a seasoned rider. There will be groups for varying levels, from those who want to push harder to those that need a milder pace to restore and recover. The riding is more about movement, connecting with your body and with nature.
How good of a cyclist do I need to be to attend?
You do not have to be fast or the strongest technical rider, but you do need to be a seasoned cyclist from any terrain. This retreat is more about movement and connection than about going hard. There will be sessions for all rider levels, but not on 'how to ride a bike', so please be sure you are comfortable riding and do not need basic technical skills such as breaking and shifting gears.
