12 Scrappy Founders - outdoor endurance community for founders, investors and techies the Bay Area.

What is the "Basecamp - Training Day"?This is our core skills event. It is designed for the "adventure-curious." Whether you’ve never touched a motorcycle or you’ve ridden before and want to refine your technique, this is the place to start.

IMPORTANT: If you are a beginner/ never rode before/ or rode last time more than 5 years ago, Basecamp is required to be able to join our adventure rides in Tahoe.

The Plan

We keep each group tight - capped at 10.

  • Warm-up & Practice: We start with a 1.5-hour session with a professional instructor covering the bike, body position and clutch fundamentals. You practice under supervision until you feel solid.

  • Exploration: Once you’re comfortable, we head out. You’ll ride across basecamp moto trails through forests and hills. This is where you push your boundaries.

Who is this for?

  • Founders, Techies & Investors: You want a full mental reset with good people in a non-transactional environment.

  • All Levels: You don't need a driver's license. You just need to be comfortable balancing on a bicycle and understand the concept of a manual transmission (clutch + gears).

  • Supportive Group: We curate the group to be diverse and supportive. This isn't a "boys club" - we strongly value our female riders and beginners.
