From Mountains to Coast, North America Has It All

There’s something about the magnificence of biking North America that is truly awe-inspiring. Whether you’re dreaming of pedaling past the majestic red sandstone rock formations of Utah’s Zion National Park or picturing yourself spinning through lush forests of pine and sugar maple in Vermont’s Green Mountains, there’s something in North America for everyone. Plus, since these destinations are close to home, you can enjoy them without all the travel time. Our local trip leaders live in the locations where they lead—so they know every bend in the road, every artist’s enclave, and every farm-to-table café along the way. These are more than just cycling vacations—they’re journeys of discovery.

Our North American cycling adventures include fun cultural experiences you won’t find anywhere else—including a southern gospel choir performance on our Mississippi: The Natchez Trace Guided Tour, a conversation with a Vermont maple syrup maker  on our Vermont: Lake Champlain Islands, Burlington & Stowe Guided Tour, and lessons on traditional Southern dancing during our South Carolina & Georgia: Charleston to Savannah Guided Tour. In the evenings, you’ll return to your charming boutique hotel after an invigorating day of cycling and adventure to enjoy delicious local cuisine that brings you the authentic flavors of the region. If you’re looking for a fascinating cycling adventure that’s a little closer to home, a VBT cycling adventure in North America is just the thing!
