It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels – Heinz Stucke
At Echelon Pro Cycling Tours we curate custom cycling experiences in some of the world’s greatest bike riding regions – the Napa and Sonoma Valley Wine Country, California’s Central Coast, the Willamette Valley in the Pacific Northwest, New Zealand’s Forgotten Highway and Central Plateau. These are the roads we ride everyday, and we want to share them with you.
It’s Your Ride
With a locals-only approach to routes, meals, and lodging, we custom-tailor each tour to fit your specific desires. Whether you’re looking for big elevation gains, rolling paceline drills, long days in the saddle, or a lighter ride day coupled with a private winery tour, the ride is yours to shape. Simply tell us what you’re interested in and we make it happen. And along the way we’ll throw in added surprises (like a bakery stop with the best scone you’ve ever eaten) just to keep things interesting!
Ride Support
Mid-ride musette and bottle hand-ups, complete SAG support and daily bike maintenance, post-ride massages, and catered nutrition plans – we run our rides with a WorldTour level of service. We handle everything from the moment you step off the plane, through each day’s ride support, and each evening’s dining and lodging. The only thing we leave up to you is the riding. That you have to do on your own.
What To Expect
Each morning you’ll wake to a breakfast tailored for a big ride day. Out on the road your “ride fuel” is completely customizable, from the tried and true gels, blocks, and drink mixes, to our pro-peloton vetted energy bars. These homemade, foil-wrapped squares of goodness are guaranteed to keep your wattage high and taste buds happy. And what’s better than an ice-cold bottle of Coke (or IPA!) at the end of a long ride?
Whatever you need to get you there,
we’ve got you covered.
Every day’s like Christmas… AKA #sockdoping
It’s okay to admit it – we’re all kit whores. And riding Echelon-style means you’re going to be kitted up proper, because we supply each rider with two complete, matching jersey / bib / sock kits. Custom tailored by ICE Sportswear from premium Italian-fabrics, Echelon apparel will have you looking as pro as you ride.
Ride Hard Play Harder
The Echelon experience doesn’t end when you stop pedaling. With spectacular meals, picturesque lodging, and exclusive experiences waiting for you at the end of each ride, you’ll wake up fueled and rested for the next day’s effort. From private, winemaker lead tastings, to behind the scenes tours of award-winning distilleries and breweries, to our renowned farm-to-table, family style vineyard dinners, you’ll have as much fun off the bike as on.
