Description

The USA Trail: Beta Rider Application

Access & Application Fees: Route files for The USA Trail will be provided free of charge to Club Spinistry members and the Trail Founders who generously helped fund its development.

Current Club Spinistry Members: Your application fee is automatically waived.

Trail Founders (Non-Members): You will be provided with a unique coupon code to bypass the application fee.

New Applicants: Your application fee covers the cost of a 12-month, Steel-level Club Spinistry membership. Upon payment, you will receive a coupon code to redeem your membership.

The Beta Verification Process Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee your selection for the Fall 2026 Beta roster. This is a critical phase of our route verification, and we require highly experienced, capable, multi-day riders to vet these segments and provide actionable, pragmatic feedback for our final adjustments.

This application process requires verifiable proof of your previous multi-day riding experience. Once initial applications are reviewed, we will follow up with one-on-one interviews for the best-qualified candidates. Selected riders must be intensely resourceful, adaptable, and unflappable. You will be expected to navigate adverse conditions, manage mechanicals, and handle unforeseen circumstances entirely on your own and unsupported.

A Note to the Curious Please do not apply simply to get an early look at the map. We need dedicated testers who are ready to put in the work. Once the routes are completely ground-truthed by this Beta crew and adjusted to their final versions, they will be released to the general public in early 2027.
