Find Your Ideal Ride.
Every rider is different, and so is every Velo Escape. We classify our escapes by Escape Focus, Terrain Type, Distance, and Climbing so you know exactly what to expect from your journey.
Escape Focus
How we approach each day inside and outside the saddle.
Classic
Focus on the ride. Challenging routes, majestic climbs, and longer days in the saddle. Built for experienced cyclists looking to conquer the road rather than beginners seeking mostly leisure.
Dolce Vita
Slower pace, more wine. Shorter point-to-point rides focused on culinary experiences and culture. Perfect for those who enjoy the destination as much as the journey.
Lux
The ultra-elevated experience in every aspect. Completely tailored for you with the finest catered food, world-class restaurants, exceptional routes, and white-glove care.
Beta
These trips are special—offered at a reduced price (closer to cost) to allow us to test and refine new routes. Join us on an experimental journey to help forge the path. (Expect some hiccups along the way!)
Terrain Type
The foundation of your journey. Choose the terrain you want beneath your tires.
Road
Focus on the tarmac. Smoother road surfaces where road bikes and slick tires are the preferred mechanism for sweeping descents and long, uninterrupted stretches.
Gravel
A true mixed-surface experience. You'll tackle a combination of different gravel types, some connecting road sections, and maybe even hard-pack dirt as we explore remote logging roads and unpaved paths.
E-Bikes are welcome on almost all of our trips! Talk with us to arrange one.
Route Type
How the trip is structured day-to-day.
Hub
You stay based in one location and ride different routes from the same home base each day.
Point to Point
You move through a journey route with changing locations and accommodations along the way.
