New What to Expect
Fully Supported Cycling Adventures
Experienced Tour Leaders
On our long-distance cycling routes, having a skillful tour leader is more than just nice – it’s essential for a
successful tour.
Helpful Support Staff
Bike mechanics, chefs, medics, drivers, and local staff keep you on your bike and pointed
in the right direction
throughout the tour.
Multiple Support Vehicles
Only carry what you need for the day, and make use of a lift from one of our support vehicles when you’re unable to ride.
Unique Lodging Options
From 3 star hotels to eclectic indoor accommodation to rugged camping, depending on your choice of tour.
Freedom to Explore Your Way
Cycle at Your
Own Pace
We don’t ask you to ride at any particular speed, or force you to ride as a group. Choose who you ride with each day, when to stop, and what sights to take in along the way.
Ride On Your
Own Bike
Fly in with your bike. We’ll help you reassemble it, and you’ll complete the tour on the bike you’re used to and have already outfitted just the way you like.
The ‘Sweep’ is Never Far Behind
Rest assured that whether cycling across the deserts of Sudan or through a busy city in Europe, our staff cyclist “sweep” won’t be far behind.
Unique Lodging Options
From 3 star hotels to eclectic indoor accommodation to rugged camping, depending on your choice of tour.
A Unique group of adventures
Cyclists of all ages and backgrounds
With ages ranging from early 20s to early 70s, our cyclists are students, retirees, self-employed, unemployed, with backgrounds in construction, finance, marketing, education and every other profession you can think of.
People from all over the world
Come and meet people from across the globe. Our participants typically come from 10 or more different countries in North America, Europe, Oceania and beyond.
Each tour is a little different
Many cyclists join as solo participants, and some couples or siblings ride together as well. Our groups average 30 cyclists but can be as small as 10. The riders come with a variety of cycling experience and fitness levels.
Camaraderie of shared experiences
The tours offer an opportunity for strong friendships to form. Sharing a common goal with others will allow you to get to know your fellow cyclists very well.
We’re there before and after the tours too
Pre-tour info bulletins
Important information for your tour is emailed throughout the 9 months leading up to the start – everything from how to pack to choosing a bike, and from travel insurance to where to meet the group.
Experts to answer your questions
There is a lot to do to prepare for a tour – flights, visas, travel insurance, vaccinations. Our office is staffed with experience cyclists who are knowledgeable about our various routes and ready to help.
In-country tour support
We help you assemble your bike, and host a pre tour briefing to go over daily routines. Your night of accommodations before the first riding day is included in your entry fee. At the end of the tour, our mechanic will provide a box and help pack your bike for the flight home.
Finish line celebration
At the end of each Full Tour, we have a big celebratory dinner where your tour jersey and medal are handed out (mailed to riders leaving earlier on in the tour).
