Scheduled Groups & Private Tours in Napa, Sonoma & Oregon

Lifecycle Adventures

Building on the success of their Self-guided trips in California & Oregon,LifeCycle
Adventures announced two new trip styles for 2011: Private Tours and Scheduled Groups.

Private Tours are for groups of 6 upwards who want a totally private and customized
experience.  And custom really means custom: your choice of dates, duration, accommodation,
riding distances as well as a range of non-cycling activities from archery to zip-lining.
 You can even choose if you want to be guided or self-guided!

So, get a group of friends, family or colleagues together and they'll create a custom
group tour just for you.  Get 10 people together and go free yourself!

Scheduled Groups are trips that combine the flexibility of being self-guided with
the social aspects found on the best group tours.  Choose the type of riding you
 want to do during the day then join your hosts with a group of like-minded riders
for excellent food and great company in the evening.  You even get to choose where
you stay.

As a bonus, you can choose from a range of non-cycling activities such as kayaking,
hiking or cooking classes - at no extra cost.

LifeCycle Adventures work with travelers to create custom cycling itineraries and
