Find Your Ideal Ride.
Every rider is different, and so is every Velo Escape. We classify our trips by Bike Type, Tour Focus, Distance, and Climbing so you know exactly what to expect from your journey.
Bike Type
The foundation of your journey. Choose the terrain you want beneath your tires.
Road
Focus on the tarmac. Smoother road surfaces where road bikes and slick tires are the preferred mechanism for sweeping descents and long, uninterrupted stretches.
Gravel
A true mixed-surface experience. You'll tackle a combination of different gravel types, some connecting road sections, and maybe even hard-pack dirt as we explore remote logging roads and unpaved paths.
E-Bikes are welcome on almost all of our trips! Talk with us to arrange one.
Tour Focus
How we approach each day inside and outside the saddle.
Dolce Vita
Slower pace, more wine. Shorter point-to-point rides focused on culinary experiences and culture.
Classic
Focus on the ride. Challenging routes, majestic climbs, and longer days in the saddle for avid cyclists looking to conquer the road.
Exploratory
These trips are special—offered at a reduced price (closer to cost) to allow us to do reconnaissance on new routes. Join us on our experimental journey where you'll help forge the path and get involved exploring new routes. (Expect some hiccups along the way!)
