I Eat Miles for Breakfast

For some riders, coming to the local weekly throwdown ride loaded for rhino and then pulverizing the field is their way of having fun on a bike. If that's you, then you're probably not looking at bike touring as a way to satisfy your competitive urges.

Not that you can't mix in a bit of personal challenge with your vacation time, however. If you enjoy the challenge of defying gravity, our level 401 bicycle tours will give you all the vertical climbing pleasure you could want.

 

 Or would you rather cover ground on a continental scale? Our ExpeditionPlus! level 501 bicycle tours take you on transcontinental journeys.

Even our level 301 bicycle tours offer additional miles on nearly every touring day, so you can load on the distance and rack up those daily totals. Then eat your fill and sleep soundly. Our style of independent touring lends itself perfectly to those who want to burn a few more calories than the standard itinerary provides.

With some creative planning, you can fit in a variety of athleteic pursuits during a bike tour. Work in an early morning tempo run before your healthful breakfast, then enjoy the day's cycling mileage at a relaxed pace (we can always suggest riding extensions if you want). Although our centrally-located hotels generally don't have pools, you will likely be just a short distance from the community pool. And of course, you can always explore your new surroundings by foot, either at a brisk pace or a stroll.

Let us know what your athletic objectives are, and we'll do our best to help you select the right tour to meet them.
