Why bicycle adventures.

We invite you to join our family. After 40 years of guiding extraordinary bicycle vacations, we have learned that bigger is not better. How do we know that? Easy… Our guests and guides tell us so. It’s the little things that small tours do that just aren’t possible with large group tours. Whether it’s getting to know everyone through shared conversation at dinner, choosing your dinner off the menu, staying in boutique accommodations or having your favorite post-ride refreshment waiting for you at the end of the day. But the best part is having guides that actually get to know you so that each trip feels like your own personalized vacation.

Enthusiastic, knowledgeable guides, healthy lunches, fine dining, copious brew pubs, good wine lists, spectacular scenery and nearly ubiquitous van support!

A great way to experience a unique part of our world by leaving much of the planning and execution to a group of knowledgable, experienced, and helpful guides.

Great trip! Beautiful scenery, guides are very supportive and accommodating to the various levels of riders. Everyone is encouraged to ride to their comfort level.

It was a great introductory cycling trip for a family of 5 with ages ranging from 7 to 40+. All the kids made friends and loved being together.

It is an amazing way to explore a new place, the routes take to you to best spots, on the best roads, the guides are always there to make sure you are doing OK.

The Best Bike Trips in the U.S. You Can Book Right Now

We found the safest bike tours along America’s most spectacular routes so you can check another ride off your bucket list!

Currently Covid cases are at an all-time high in the U.S. Before you book any trip, check for travel restrictions and mandates in states and counties you’ll pass through and understand they may still be in place when it’s time for your trip. If so, respect these restrictions and their communities by rescheduling for a safer time.

Riding your bike can be a fantastic escape from unprecedented stress—as many of us learned (or relearned) in 2020. And riding it someplace beyond your locals adds even more magic. But during a pandemic, everything from traveling to get someplace new to being part of a group is complicated. We debated skipping our annual travel awards, but ultimately decided to focus on stateside trips (potentially eliminating or reducing air travel) run by companies instituting rigorous safety protocols.

Our editors vetted hundreds of tour outfitters and analyzed their itineraries for things like average tour size, traveler reviews, value, and quality of the rental fleet. Each company we chose to feature established practices to combat COVID (everything from providing masks to testing staff regularly to sanitizing equipment), and many have eased their cancellation policies, decreased group sizes, and bolstered their self-guided and private trip options. Of course, it’s still up to you to travel responsibly: Ride within your limits to avoid taxing local health systems, check for travel restrictions in states and counties you’ll pass through, and if you’re sick, stay home. And if your personal situation, local conditions, or sense of caution keep you at home this year, we hope you use this list to shop for the trip you’ll do during a better time.

BEST FOR FOODIES

Mendocino gravel, the outfitter, the cyclist’s menu.

Created by husband and wife Zander and Heidi Ault (a farm-direct chef and a former pro mountain bike racer), this six-day, five-night tour seamlessly marries stellar gravel riding with phenomenal eats. Routes explore a playful 10-mile stretch of coastline and tranquil roads and trails through more than 50,000 acres of Redwood forest (daily mileage runs 30 to 70). Breakfast spreads, picnic lunches, and sumptuous evening meals all lean into local providers (fresh-caught seafood, community-grown greens, and craft brews) and group bonding (tours are capped at eight travelers; 10 for private) is the goal. Days wind down with happy hours overlooking the coast ahead of comfortable overnights at the MacCallum House Inn.

6 days | 250–300 miles | $3,650 | Intermediate/Advanced

1 day | 40–60 miles | $140 | All Levels

BEST GRAVEL

Montana gravel tour, the cycling house.

Head into northwestern Montana’s backcountry on this doubletrack and dirt road adventure. This six-day trip is fully supported, features a mix of challenging climbs and zippy descents, and offers customizable routes (daily mileage range: 20 to 55) to please less-experienced gravel riders and veterans—like the climb up to the Morrell Mountain Lookout at 7,700 feet and sections of the legendary Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. A home base at the Double Arrow Lodge in Seeley Lake means you only unpack once, and locally sourced meals prepared by Cycling House chefs keep you fortified throughout.

6 days | 160–215 miles | Starts at $2,995 | Intermediate

Sierra Gravel Camp | Dirt Gypsy Adventures

This mixed-terrain camp (gravel, fire roads, asphalt, and singletrack) offers some of the best off-road riding in and around Northern California’s Tahoe National Forest—along with swimming holes, beer tastings, and farm-to-table dinners.

5 days | up to 295 miles | $1,975 | Intermediate/Advanced

BEST FALL COLORS

Lake champlain valley fall foliage.

Enjoy Vermont’s famous foliage by bike on this inn-to-inn adventure across the gently rolling valley between the Green Mountains and New York’s majestic Adirondack peaks. Daily rides wind through a breathtaking canopy of red, amber, and gold, while topping out at 54 miles—giving you time for off-bike exploring. Picnic lunches, covered bridges, and a seemingly endless number of New England’s iconic red barns add to the allure. Lodging includes historic hotels and charming country inns.

6 days | 160–275 miles | $2,559 | Intermediate

Mississippi Natchez Trace Guided Tour | VBT

The South has some of the country’s most spectacular, and underappreciated, fall foliage. This guided trip gives you a generous glimpse along the historically significant Natchez Trace Parkway, a designated bike route that loosely follows the original 500-mile Native American footpath that connected Natchez, Mississippi, with Nashville.

6 days | 95–140 miles | $1,995 | Recreational/Intermediate

BEST CULTURAL HISTORY

Underground railroad route, adventure cycling association.

The Underground Railroad was the secret network of homes and churches that helped enslaved people reach free states and Canada. This route from Mobile, Alabama, to Owen Sound, Ontario, pays homage to that perilous journey and is part of the ACA’s 50,000+ mile route network. While there is a guided tour offered on the route, it is most frequently traveled by self-guided cyclists who rely on the ACA’s detailed maps and GPX data for guidance. There is no fee to ride the route other than to purchase the map set or GPX data, or use their Bicycle Route Navigator app. (Adventure Cycling members also get a discount on paper maps, among many other benefits).

2,016 miles (shortest leg 378 miles) | Intermediate/Advanced

Bike/Hike New Mexico | Great Freedom Adventures

Dive into New Mexico’s rich Indigenous culture and history on foot and by bike. Ride highlights include the High Road to Taos and Enchanted Circle, a National Forest Scenic Byway.

6 days | 50–130 miles (+15 walking) | $3,190 | Intermediate

BEST FOR FAMILIES

Mt. rushmore family tour, bicycle adventures.

This six-day itinerary pairs riding time with activities that kids (and parents) will enjoy. Options for tagalong bikes and trailers make it accessible to even the smallest riders, and van support keeps them close when legs tire out. Groups max out at eight; small enough to accommodate mood swings and last-minute plans. The route ticks off educational landmarks, too: South Dakota’s Mt. Rushmore, Wind Cave National Park, and Crazy Horse. Plus, families get ample bonding time in the afternoons and evenings to relax and unwind.

6 days | 110 miles | $2,566 | Recreational/Intermediate

South Rim Grand Canyon | Western Spirit

Families who are serious about biking will love this all-day on the bike, nights under the stars, exploration of one of America’s most iconic natural attractions.

5 days | 75–95 miles | $1,295 | Intermediate

BEST NATIONAL PARK TOUR

Yellowstone to glacier, rei adventures.

You’ll hit two of America’s most stunning national parks on this 10-day, fully supported journey through Big Sky Country. Ride days range from 34 to 80 miles, and nights are spent both under the stars and in comfortable hotels. Sky-high geysers, wildlife encounters (bison and mountain goats among them), and craft beer samplings will round out your experience. Climbers will like the 10 miles of switchbacks up to the Continental Divide–Pipestone Pass. And there are plenty of off-bike thrills as well, including lake swims and whitewater rafting. The bucket-list highlight: the ride to Logan Pass at 6,646 feet up Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park.

10 days | 455 miles | Starts at $3,999 REI members ($4,268 non-members) | Intermediate/Advanced

Maine Bike Tour | Backroads

Immerse all of your senses on this trip through and around Acadia National Park. Pine forests, fresh lobster dinners, and time to wander museums and local shops round out the laid-back experience.

5 days | 90–160 miles | $3,199–$3,599 | Intermediate/Advanced

BEST MOUNTAIN BIKING

Fruita singletrack, western spirit.

A mix of steady climbs and rollicking descents on this epic dirt-culture experience will keep your quads guessing. The riding is challenging, but you’ll be rewarded with near-constant panoramic views of the Colorado River Valley and La Sal Mountain range. Guides sweat the small stuff (Western Spirit has set the standard in lavish camp cuisine for more than 30 years) so you can squeeze all the stoke from some of Colorado’s premier singletrack, including the famous Kokopelli Trail, the Western Rim, and the purpose-built Book Cliff Trail System.

5 days | 100 miles | $1,295 | Intermediate/Advanced

Idaho Hot Springs Mountain Bike Tour | Escape Adventures

At the end of each exhilarating day riding premium Sawtooth Mountain trails, you’ll be met with a freshly prepared meal and a bubbling hot spring to unwind in.

5 days | 70–115 miles | $1,349 | Recreational/Intermediate

BEST WOMEN-ONLY

Finger lakes wine country.

This women-only tour of New York’s Finger Lakes region—the birthplace of the women’s suffrage movement—includes stops in Susan B. Anthony’s and Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s hometowns. Enjoy a mix of rolling and flat terrain with rides that range from 13 to 50 miles and stops to sample the dry Riesling and other wines the region is famous for. There’s also time to explore museums and parks that tell the story of how American women fought for the right to vote.

4 days | 125–140 miles | $1,640 | Intermediate

Viva Southwest Las Vegas/St. George Mountain Bike Skills Camp | Sacred Rides

Forget light spins and wine sipping: This is for mountain bikers who want a solid week of coaching on some of the best trails Las Vegas and southwestern Utah have to offer.

6 days | ~75 miles | $2,595 | Advanced

BEST FOR NEW RIDERS

San juan islands bike tour, trek travel.

Explore this idyllic Washington State archipelago with a pair of knowledgeable guides, doable mileage (daily average: 20), and a bike that suits you best (choose a Domane SL7 Disc or a Verve+ e-bike). Wide open views of rolling farmland, the Pacific Ocean, and the majestic Cascades will distract you from any first-trip jitters. Multiple daily route options and a support van let you comfortably ride at your own pace. Fuel up on local cuisine at some of the islands’ most acclaimed restaurants, and overnight at boutique inns.

6 days | 120 miles | $3,499 | Recreational/Intermediate

Savannah to Charleston | Sojourn

Manageable daily mileage and tree-lined routes make this great for first-timers.

7 days | 60–130 miles | $3,765 | Recreational

BEST PRO TRAINING GROUNDS

Malibu challenge bike tour.

DuVine is known for crafting incredible cycling experiences, and their four-day trip in and around the Santa Monica Mountains is no exception. You’ll hit iconic local climbs like Latigo Canyon, Stunt and Piuma Roads, and the twisty hairpin turns on Decker. You’ll grab espresso at Pedalers Fork, a well-loved bike-themed eatery in Calabasas. And you’ll stay at the luxe Four Seasons Westlake Village while dining on farm-to-table meals accompanied by selections from California winemakers and breweries. DuVine can also customize a private tour by extending the trip length or increasing your daily mileage.

4 days | 165–185 miles | $3,995 | Advanced

Texas Ride Camp | Trek Travel

Ride the ranchlands and rolling terrain of Texas Hill (and wine!) Country, which has long been a secret winter-training hotspot for pro cyclists.

7 days | 290–350 miles | $1,799 | Advanced

BEST FOR WINE/BEER LOVER

California wine country.

When your meals are prepared by a Michelin-star chef (avid cyclist Matthew Accarrino) in Sonoma County, paired with hand-selected local wines, and served after you’ve ridden anywhere from 22 to 82 miles, you know you’ve hit the jackpot. Routes snake along manicured vineyards and offer up plenty of robust climbs. Trips start and end in Healdsburg, a cozy hamlet with great spots for off-bike exploring. Groups max out at 12, making for an intimate vibe. Included luxuries like postride massages and laundry service for your kit add to the pampered feel.

5 days | 210 miles | $3,450 | Intermediate

Asheville Craft Beer Bike Tour | Outfitter Bicycle

6 days | 140–210 miles | $2,495 | Recreational

You’ll ride through the heart of this vibrant section of northern Manhattan, and visit sites significant to Black culture and history, including churches, jazz clubs, speakeasies, museums, famous residences, and restaurants.

4.5 hours | 10 miles | $87 | Moderate

Baltimore, Richmond, Charlotte | Bike & Brunch Tours

All levels are welcome on these morning or afternoon tours that highlight Black history and community in one of three East Coast cities. Brunch is optional (and extra), but the temptation to grab a meal at a hidden local gem will be hard to resist.

Why choose Intrepid

Full support

We provide a support vehicle as secondary transport in case of injury, inclement weather, unexpected hazardous road conditions, and as an option for those that would prefer not to cycle for an hour or even a day.

Small groups

Our groups are small enough to allow you to ride at your own pace, but big enough to create a good social vibe. Our maximum group size is 12 people, which we’ve found is a great number to let you connect with your fellow cyclists and also benefit from your leader’s local knowledge and cycling experience.

Local leaders

The best folk to show you the heart of a destination are the ones that live there, which is why we work exclusively with local cycling leaders. Our leaders are not just cycling enthusiasts, but they’re also your teacher and enthusiastic purveyor of local experiences.

Highlights of Road Cycling

Tackle the legendary climbs seen in the Grand Tours

Challenge yourself on the most famous climbs in cycling – the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta de Espana. Choose from the mighty Tourmalet, to the Passo Stelvio and of course the 21 hairpins of the Alpe d'Huez. If you need motivation to keep pedalling, when you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with a picnic of local delicacies.

Pay homage to the ‘Patron Saint of Cycling'

Visit Italy’s famed cycling monument, the church of the Madonna di Ghisallo or the ‘Patron Saint of Cycling’. This small church – probably the only religious site in the world that welcomes people wearing tight lycra – is home to an amazing collection of cycling memorabilia, from Fausto Coppi, to Eddy Merckx and more modern champions.

Ride around the picturesque towns of Lake Como

Enjoy a flatter ride day when you track around the famed Lake Como. Visit the stunning lakeside village of Bellagio, which is commonly called ‘the Pearl of Lake Como’, as well as the heart of the district itself – Como. Rest your cycling legs and explore the playground of the rich and famous or get a bird’s eye view of where you’ve ridden with a ride on the scenic funicular railway.

Cycle up the longest climb in the world

While European climbs get all the press, the true ‘mother of all cycling climbs’ lies in Colombia – the mythical Alto de Letras. At almost 80 kilometres long it’s reputed to be the longest climb in the world and completing it guarantees you legendary cycling status.

What is the difference between Road Cycling and our other Cycling trips?

There are a number of differences between Road Cycling and our other Cycling trips, but the main one is that on a Road Cycling trip, the focus is as much on the riding itself as the destination. In contrast, on our core Cycling trips we aim to ride together as a group, stopping often to enjoy the destination and interacting as much as we can with the local people and environment.

You can expect Road Cycling trips to be physically more challenging – but not overly so – and you will be allowed the time and space to ride at your own pace. We mostly ride through mountainous territory, sometimes remote but always awe-inspiring. We do allow plenty of time to stop for a coffee (and often cake!) but our focus is on completing the ride rather than exploring the destination, before getting together as a group in the evening for a well-deserved dinner.

What you will find on both our Cycling trip styles is the feeling of camaraderie and shared experience the group has while achieving something truly inspirational.

What are the range of Road Cycling tours available?

Our Road Cycling tours in France, Italy, Spain and Colombia are focussed on riding on some of the finest roads and among the most stunning scenery in the world. Based on world-famous cycling routes and climbs often covered by the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta de Espana, we spend more time in the mountains than the flats.

Should I bring my own bike on a Road Cycling trip?

We know that most road cyclists like and trust the feel of their own bike, and the majority will bring their own, so we don’t include bike hire on our Road Cycling tours. It also means you won’t be paying for a bike you never use. For those that prefer not to travel with their own bike and want to avoid the hassle of transporting it we do offer the option to hire a suitable bike locally. Please check the Essential Trip Information on the trip page for more information. 

Bringing your own bike – if you want to bring your own bike from home you’ll need to box it up for transport on the plane: the easiest way to do this is to go to your local bike shop and ask if they will do it for you (a fee may apply). They often have boxes on hand from old stock and have the tools to remove the pedals and secure your handlebars. Airline fees will also apply, so check with your airline about costs.

Hiring a bike – the bikes we use are from proven brands, very well maintained, typically less than three years old (most are newer) and specifically chosen to suit the terrain you'll be cycling on, on the trip. They come in the full range of sizes from extra small to extra-large and have gearing suitable for long climbs in the mountains. The only thing you need to do is advise us of your height at the time of booking and we’ll handle the rest. If you like, you can always take your own saddle (seat) as well as your pedals and shoes too. 

How do I take my bike on an international flight?

All airlines will have their own rules and fees when transporting bikes. We recommend you contact the airline before you pay for your flights to see what charges and requirements they have. Before you go, you must box your bike for transport. The easiest way to do this is to go to your local bike shop and ask if they will do it for you (a fee may apply). They often have boxes on hand from old stock and have the tools to remove the pedals and secure your handlebars.

What do I have to carry while we ride?

On all of our Road Cycling trips your luggage is transferred between accommodation for you each day. All you have to carry is drinks, any snacks or gadgets you may want and a few layers to keep you dry and warm. As people do get spread out on long climbs we recommend also carrying a small puncture repair kit with you. Our support vehicle travels with the group while riding and will carry small daypacks, jackets for descending, etc. so you don’t need to carry these with you if you don’t want to.

Do I need to pack anything special?

Helmets are compulsory on all our cycling tours, so you can either bring your own or save on luggage space and buy one at a local bike shop once you arrive. We also recommend you bring your own water bottle, and cycling-specific shoes. We highly recommend bring close-fitting cycling shorts and jerseys, but you are free to ride in whatever you find comfortable. For more information on packing, check out the What to Pack section of the Essential Trip Information.

How fit do I need to be?

Our Road Cycling trips are the most physically challenging cycling trips we offer; however, we have still designed these trips to be achievable for regular cyclists who have never cycled in the mountains before. Our support vehicle and crew are always there to assist you.

The vast majority of our cycling days are between 50 and 100 kilometres (31 to 62 miles) and are done at a relatively relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery or just take a break.

Road Cycling trips are done predominantly on sealed roads (with the odd unsealed section), but none of the trips require any specialist cycling skills. However, we recommend riding as many hills as you can in the months and weeks leading up to your trip to ensure you are comfortable with both climbing and descending.

What sort of safety precautions do you take?

We run risk assessments on every one of our cycling trips to make sure they’re up to scratch, and your cycling leaders have personally ridden every inch of the itinerary in advance. We’ve assessed the road conditions, the level of traffic and any potential blackspots. Our leaders are trained in cycling health and safety, as well as basic first aid, and we usually have a vehicle following us if an evacuation ever becomes necessary. We’ve also made sure our cycling tours depart during the milder months, when the weather isn’t too hot or too cold, so the ride should be as pleasant (and safe) as possible.

Do I need special insurance for a cycling trip?

No. Any injuries you might suffer while riding should be covered by the more reputable comprehensive policies (we can recommend some good brands if you’re unsure of what to get). It’s always important to double check the fine print before departing on your trip and be aware that (like all Intrepid trips) travel insurance is compulsory on our cycling itineraries.
