Epic Tours

This year, you’re going for it — the big, cross-country bike pilgrimage. Make the commitment. You’ll have nothing to regret when all’s said and done and a lifetime’s worth of stories to tell. We’re talking about a 28- to 93-day, self-contained or van-supported adventure, an Adventure Cycling Epic Tour. Since 1976, we’ve made people’s dreams a reality. A small team with a qualified leader, shared gear, and one goal can make dreams come true. This is your year to grab your bike and go on an epic adventure that will leave you with a lifetime of memories.

TransAm Express
TransAm Express | Van Supported | May 1 – July 14, 2027

Van Supported. We’re excited to once again offer a tour of the TransAm Express, a different take on the Adventure Cycling route that started it all. While some cyclists believe pedaling across the country self-supported is the only way to go, others say, “Haul all that gear? No way.” If you’re among the latter group, you can ride pannier-free on this adventure across the U.S.!

North Star | Self Contained | June 19 – Aug 18, 2027

Self Contained. You’ll have the trip of a lifetime by taking on what is arguably the best combination of challenge and adventure that we offer. This Adventure Cycling classic, first run in the 1980s, is getting revamped from the ground up for 2027.

Pacific Coast | Van Supported | Aug 22 – Oct 1, 2027

Van Supported. Join us for this golden opportunity to ride from Canada to Mexico on one of America’s premier cycling journeys: the Pacific Coast Route. This tour is so popular that it sells out in a few weeks, so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to sign up.
