Velo Escapes cyclists on a curated international cycling escape

RIDE BEYOND
ORDINARY.

We run group cycling trips in the world's best riding destinations. Serious routes, half the big-brand price, and everything handled by the founder — on the ride with you.

Epic Terrain

Hill-country switchbacks, desert mountain summits, big-sky passes — we hunt down America's best riding and build every escape around it.

Elevated Recovery

After a day in the saddle, land somewhere worth the miles — handpicked stays, tables you'll talk about, and evenings built for recovery.

Flawless Logistics

A support van on every ride, a mechanic on call, routes dialed, meals planned — every detail handled, so all you have to do is ride.

Founder-Led, Literally

You ride with the person who built the company.

Carey Rouse builds every escape — the routes, the hotels, the tables — and then rides every mile of it with you. Not hosting from a van. Riding.

He came back from congestive heart failure to long-distance cycling: a 1,300-mile ride and the documentary that came out of it, a 24-hour ride, a camper van built with his own hands. Your trip is led by someone who has actually lived this.

Epic is different
for everybody.

For some it's 6,300 feet up a desert mountain. For some it's four days deep in wine country with riders who become friends.

Every escape we build has one job: you go home knowing you did something.
