The Undiscovered Country Difference
Our dedication to the founding principles have made us the leading road bike tour company in California, with more tours to more California destinations that any other. Our tours are different than most, however, here are the main things that set our tours apart:
The Best Road Cycling
Some tours are short on cycling and long on “other” activities. But on our tours, just the opposite is true. Our trip planning focuses heavily on the bicycling. Of course, we make sure our guests dine well, stay in nice accommodations, and get to experience the local flavor. But our first priority is to create the best cycling experience for those who love road cycling.
The California Focus
We operate our tours only in California, focusing on finding the absolute best that this state has to offer the cyclist. We know just about everything there is to know about how to make a California bike tour simply amazing.
The Roads Less Traveled
We prefer the backroads to the main highway, the quaint village to the busy tourist town, the small historic inn to the world famous resort. We’ll probably skip the sites described in the guide book. Instead, we seek out unique spots that are, well, undiscovered.
The Uncrowded Way
Crowds are not our style, so we limit our group sizes to no more than 14 people. This lets us fit comfortably in the smaller inns, lodges, wineries, and restaurants off the beaten path. Plus, a smaller group makes it easier to get to know fellow travelers.
The Car-Free Travel
The best bicycle trips involve traveling by bicycle, not by motorized vehicle, so we design all of our tour routes to maximize bicycle travel and minimize mandatory vehicle transfers. With very few exceptions, our tours are designed to be traveled the entire route by bicycle (of course, our vehicle is always on the route should you need it).
The Weekend Bike Tours
Many people just don't have the time to take a week-long tour. That’s where our Weekend Getaways come in. They’re a great way for busy people to enjoy a weekend away from home without all the planning and guesswork. No other bike tour company has as many weekend offerings to as many locations.
