Apply for a Free Tour

We're looking for women who may have suffered a loss, overcome an obstacle, or are in desperate need of a respite, and who would not otherwise be able to afford one of our tours.

We will give away up to 4 free trips to our Island Hopper tour in Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard June 10-14, 2016 to the most deserving women.

We are fortunate to have an angel who has made a substantial donation to help us keep "doing what we do." We know how rejuvenating our bicycle tours can be, so we are paying it forward.

Tell us why you or someone you know deserves one of our free tours by Christmas, and we'll announce the winners on New Year's Eve. Start your 2016 right. Good luck!

Watch our video above for more details and then apply here.

2016 Guide Schedule

We plan to start posting our guide schedule on our website soon. Meanwhile, we are posting it here for 2016. Many of our guests want to travel with their same favorite guide again. Here's your chance to find out where she'll be next year. We hope to see you soon!

Ten Ways to Beat Those Winter Blahs

Winter getting you down? Are your clothes feeling tighter? Do you beat yourself up for not having worked out at all this week? Or last week? Or the week before that? Then it's time for a reality check. Here are 10 ways to beat those winter blahs and motivate yourself.

1. Sign up for our Bermuda Blues tour in March. You have a month to get ready and there's no winter in Bermuda.
2. Buy some new workout clothes and try a different class at the gym. Even if you can't keep up, you'll look good.
3. Embrace the season. Rent a pair of snowshoes or cross-country skis and try a new sport. Just be ready to fall.
4. Need some help to get back in shape? Sign up for our beginner 13-day East Coast Meander in May. It's really three tours in one, so you save $230. Even if you're not in shape at the start of the tour, you will be by the end of it.
5. Try a new app. The free Cardiio app offers a 7-minute workout you can do anywhere without props. Hey, seven minutes is better than zero.
6. Check your bicycle. Is it ready to be ridden at the first sign of spring? If not, take it to your bike shop now. During the slow season, mechanics have time to tune up or fix whatever is broken.
7. Take a walk. Wear lots of layers and arrange to meet a friend for coffee afterwards as a reward.
8. Be ready to experience spring in all its glory by signing up for our Yellowstone National Park tour in June. We're still offering a $139 discount.
9. Stop feeling guilty and curl up on the couch to watch a good movie about cycling. The Triplets of Belleville is my favorite.
10. Plan now to prevent this from happening to you next year. Sign up for our February 2016 New Zealand tour by the end of this month and save $199. It's summer now down under!
