Rast Within Inches of Podium at Paris-Roubaix

Beautiful blue skies, unseasonably warm shirt-sleeve temperatures, knowledge crowds thickly lining the roads, hard to see how it could get much better for the 109th running of the 258-kilometer (160 mile) Hell of the North. It?s been named that mostly because of the 27 cobbled sectors (51.5 kms) that the riders bounce over on [...]

Tours: Be a Kid Again!




Another fantastic event tour with Adventure Cycling in the form of Cycle Utah is now a set of wonderful memories. An amazing staff, great location and camaraderie, splendid food, and perfect weather made this trip feel like a dream. Floating through the southwest landscape on two wheels, visiting Zion and Bryce National parks, and a 10 mile thrilling down hill into Cedar City made this trip a true Adventure Cycling classic.

I went with a friend, but made many more while on the tour, an easy endeavor since they were all essentially my tribe; people who love to bike, share stories, are open to new adventures, and like to eat great food. Being on an Adventure Cycling tour is like being a kid again; you hang out with your friends, ride bikes all day, and come home when dinner is served.



So what are you doing for your summer vacation? Don't fret, there's still time to sign up for high-adventure, we still have several fully-supported tours with openings. Here is a quick list to get you olly-olly-oxen freeing:

Cycle Vermont
Oregon Coastal Odyssey
Freedom Flyer
Sierra Sampler
Great Lakes Relaxed
C &O Canal/GAP

O.K., I couldn't resit this parting shot, the hardest thing about the tour for me was waking up in the morning, and as you can see by the photo below I'm not really a morning person, as this is essentially what I look like and truly how I feel at 7 am.


What are you waiting for, be a kid, find the fountain in the form of Adventure Cycling's guided tours!
