Our Tour Participants Are The Greatest
Here are more comments you have sent our way. Thanks for touring with us!
Being the oldest and least experienced cyclists in the group, we probably gave you people cause for concern before it began. But we made it through, we always felt you would be there for us in the event we needed you. You succeeded in creating a very warm, outgoing, and caring atmosphere which we will remember for a long time.
Thanks for another fantastic and memorable trip. You guys do a great job.
Super – it wasn`t “over organized” – enough flexibility to do your own thing, yet, enough info etc. to make it a great experience.”
I thought the tour was run very smoothing, with just enough surprises (good ones) to enhance the experience. …guide kept in touch with everybody and informed of what to expect, where to find food, local suppers, distances, etc.
Gary Conrod runs a fantastic tour. He knows his stuff. This is my 4th one with ACC. You’d love it!! hope to see you again one day soon!
You were the right combination of people to make this biking vacation enjoyable. Thanks so much.
Excellent pre-trip information and response to specific questions. Incredible value.
First class function. After lots more experiences elsewhere Ive come back to appreciate it even more by contrast to the other events.
Im still glowing and telling great stories about the Newfoundland trip … especially the wonderous head wind and rain on that fateful day past the airport! Our photos are great as well.
(We) had a great time – thanks for making it possible!
My son and I just signed up for the Cape Breton Tour.We did the PEI tour two years ago and had a great time. We are a little worried about the mountains on this tour but we started our training yesterday. And it is good to know that Gary and his crew are only a phone call away.
Thanks again – it was far beyond what we hoped for. The crew was wonderful. The sag wagon was always where I needed it.
Good cycling, good camping and well organized logistics. I had a wonderful time. Great route, beautiful countryside. The distances were not too great leaving room for whatever individuals wanted to do during the ride. I liked the aspect that we could go at our own speed.
Loved it! Somewhat hillier than I had expected, but I enjoyed the challenge. And having completed it, Now I can brag about it. Plus I can say again, it was so beautiful. We saw all kinds of things along the way.
This is my first bike tour, and thanks to you it won’t be my last.
Thank you so very, very much for all your help + for organizing trips like this.
Thank you so much. Your kindness and helpfulness will not be forgotten.
It is a very nice Island you have and thanks for sharing it.
I did the Cabot Trail tour a few years ago and can recommend Atlantic Cycling as a very cost efficient tour operator.
Meeting new people from all over, coming together, making new friends and bicycling. It can’t get any better than that.
I think the routes, the mileage, the sequence of the challenges, were all just right… At first, I was thinking the days were too short, but then I realized that not only was there plenty else to do, but there was lots of recovery time for the next challenge.
But, I just wanted to check in with you all. It was such a super and beautiful time. What a way to get a feel for PEI and its people and places!
I biked three summers–Cape Breton Island, Newfoundland and Quebec Province– with Gary and ACC, and had a blast every time. I enthusiastically tell anyone who bikes about his tours.
Thanks for going the extra mile.
I’m incredibly impressed with the website and information you provided packing list baggage info shuttles and suggestions for places to stay. So HELPFUL, needing something to look forward to and this is just the ticket–glad you kept me on your email list!
First Class!
You’re just about 100%, in fact you are 100% on the stuff within your control.
Logistics are pretty strong. We like the meet-and-greet, pot luck etc. We like the camping and the flexibility to book a room for some of the trip. Strong pit crew. Grocery stops, coffee. Really like that you carry dishes, silverware, cups, pots, etc. We appreciate your research on notable things on the tour.
It was a grand time. Loved the mix of trails and over the hills rides. Having to break-down and move camp only every other day was a real nice feature of this tour. Spectacular feeling on the road and views. Description of the trip should not lead participants to think it is all bike paths. I love paths because am very traffic adverse, but the better scenery is often the backroads over hill and dale rather than along old rail lines.
1st bike trip ever & I loved it! Great organization and excellent leadership. Hip t-shirt colours also. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks again to you and your staff for a most memorable experience. I think you should charge more for all the effort you put in!
Spectacular riding and great company. I couldn’t have imagined it better. Thank you for a great experience everyone. Great program and support; don’t change a thing.
Extremely well run tour. Rules to make it nice for everyone, but not in your face. This was one of my BEST vacations ever!
Thank you, thank you, thank you…it was life altering!
We will recommend this to our biking friends – a great experience.
This was my first time in Newfoundland. I always wanted to go but was put off in the past with the thought of a lot of rain. I was pleasantly surprised. We had great weather for the most part and were blessed with a lot of sunshine and warm weather at the beginning of the Tour. I just fell in love with Newfoundland. I loved the scenery and the people were very friendly, the roads were clean and the air was fresh. Hiking was great in Gros Morne park even though we could not hike to the top because of the nesting season (not open until July 1st). Saw lots of moose and some caribou and of course whales
Many thanks, PEI is truly a beautiful province.
I rode the whole distance on a wild moose chase.
I am ready to sign up for next year. The trip had a great flow, staff worked very hard, a great way to see the Atlantic provinces. Well done.
Sadly, it is time to say goodbye to Newfoundland and its severe, rugged and unromantic beauty. Feel very fortunate to have shared this unforgettable adventure with the most amazing group of people.
Fantastic trip – thanks for everything!
I would like to say thank you for one of the best event I have ever participated in. It was great. I do have one regret, it is that I never did it before now. I loved the people I met, a great bunch of people and your staff was very helpful and great to have around.
I was very happy with the tour and felt it was well done. It was an amazing trip.
Thank you all for a wonderful time I will never forget! It was a great time meeting and hanging out with each and every one of you.
You run a great adventure tour, and I thank you again. See you next summer.
We loved the trip. It’s a real privilege to be able to see the area, travel with a group of like-minded cyclists in a thoughtfully designed tour.
Liked freedeom to ride at our own pace and schedule and eating on our own without commitments.
All in all a tremendous cycling experience and an impressive feat of organization by Gary Conrod and his helpful staff at Atlantic Canada Cycling.
I loved the Newfoundland trip last year, and would like to return this year but can’t decide between PEI West, Nova Scotia East or Cape Breton. Hoping to get on one of your amazing adventures again this summer.
Newfoundland was even more beautiful and rugged than I had imagined. Every day included a new discovery and new adventure. The crew was wonderful. They were always ready to help and made me feel safe and comfortable. Great job!
Everyone compatible, organization great.
Thank you for making the recent PEI tour a memorable one for us. We enjoyed every day of riding including the one windy day. We really appreciated the extras ie;Lobster feast, the Center accommodations and providing transportation to include us with the campers. PEI is a wonderful place to ride on safe rural roads and trails. Hopefully (we) will be able to participate in one of your other tours in the future.
I arrived back with a sore bum and a tired body but I was ecstatic with the ride I’d done. Even in less-than-ideal weather I would do it again in a heart beat. This tour was impressive, especially considering the price. I felt taken care of along the way. I would recommend it to any first year rider who is looking for a great challenge and awesome excuse to take a road trip out East!
Thank you for a wonderful few days. I enjoyed myself and would come again. I spoke to several women who went along to this weekend but felt safe and comfortable doing so. So would I.
I did not know anyone when arriving, but felt like a friend immediately.
Very personal, very well done, good group spirit.
This was my favorite organized bike trip thus far. I’ve been on five before this one. PEI is absolutely beautiful! You did an outstanding job on this trip- kudos to you!
Thanks for my second unforgettably great tour with ACC, I’m already looking forward to the next one! Take care of yourselves at
- least
as well as you took care of us! Thanks!
It was great. The scenery was spectacular and biking was a great way to see it. Further, as long as you were prepared to swallow your pride and take the sag wagon there was no reason why an averagely fit person couldn’t take the ride. Generally the organization gave you support but didn’t run your life.
Well organized but allows a lot of individual freedom. Met our expectations re distances / camping / organisation and cost. We would definitely like to do many tours with ACC again.
Beyond beyond beyond my expectation! Super amazingly fun!
I’m always looking for ways to de-stress my life. For me, an adventure vacation is an amazing opportunity to meet people with similar interests and set life’s worries aside. I kept in contact with my family but did not check my email – not even once.
I liked the relaxed attitude and lack of rules and structure. This made the trip very relaxing. Overall the positives far outway anything negative or critical I could say. Well done! It was fun.
I’ll throw in my two cents about the [Saint John River] Tour. It was perfect. You have achieved a marvelous balance of freedom and structure, independence for riders as well as support. Each tour makes the trip their own… collectively their own.
The last day was delightful. I was the last to leave Cabano that morning as the rain began. And I rode like a banshee all morning. At my age I like to create a sort of hard-day / easy-day rhythm, which permits me to get in a serious three-hour workout followed by a day of hanging out with the other riders and enjoying the sights along the route
Another adventure. Thanks – great job.
Well supported, well organized, well executed. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for being so helpful to a relative newcomer to biking. You were so helpful to help me with my wheel problem.
I often recommend ACC to other cyclists. Costs of participating in a cycle tour are very reasonable, and rides are great for the average cyclist.
Loved the interesting diversity of people; the back-up; the camaraderie; the fireside singing and talking
Spectacular… 3 years running! ..see you again next year!
Many thanks for the adventure, laughter and fun. Hope to see you next summer.
I appreciate how well the organizers worked together. I didn’t have to worry about running out of water, nor about little particulars that might have occurred. It made for a stress-free ride.
Thank you for such a memorable vacation!! I am definitely going to do this tour again!
We really enjoyed the freedom to tour Nova Scotia seeing what we wanted and without needing deadlines.
Great job, great company.
Have nothing but praise. ..looking forward to more.
I highly recommend this trip. The camping facilities were great (I did stay in a B&B at Crows Head). Labrador was magnificent. I liked the idea of being able to hike, cycle and perhaps sea kayak all in one day. I would recommend bringing along some water proofed booties for cycling as we did have rain one evening. Also I recommend taking along warm clothes as it can get quite cool especially as you travel farther north. A good tent is essential too in case you get rain.
I met a great bunch of people on the Tour. Gary and his staff did a terrific job. It is a trip I could easily repeat and I highly recommend it as a place you must see.
Thanks for a great tour and the road-side repair
Liked the group camaraderie, the scenery, the buzz, the style of the tour. Don’t change the style. Like a big group camping trip things go wrong, but if the attitude is right, it all works out.
This will be tour number 6 with you and all my memories of cycling with your company are wonderful. I look forward to cycling Cape Breton Island again with you and your staff. I’m trying to talk a few other friends in coming up for the tour but I don’t think I’ll have any takers…but you never know.
I wanted to write quickly and thank you for designing a very enjoyable cycling trip. Both Lois and I had a terrific time, and beyond bicycling really enjoyed our first exposure to Nova Scotia. The province is beautiful, and at least by standards of further south, rather un-commercialized and unspoiled
Would like to offer congratulations to all who had a hand in the organization – and a big thank-you.
Thank you so much for everything on the CB tour! It was so fantastic and memorable. I loved all the people I met and all the things we did. Your organization and service was perfect.
You provide support at a distance. You allow riders freedom to ride and do whatever they want when they want. I very much enjoyed the whole experience, very happy that you love to do this.
You did a first rate job! I am by nature a cynical person. Your people did a first rate job, and you can quote me or use me as a reference.
A chance to see a part of the country I hadn’t seen before; having superb support from you and meeting up with great people who all share a common goal.
I’d like to say that I had a very enjoyable time. The people were indescribably welcoming, the organization excellent and the countryside beautiful.
I appreciated the slow transition into more challenging rides as the tour progressed each day offered new sights to see and appreciate. I always felt safe and accounted for throughout each ride and that I would make it safely to the day’s final destination despite any accidental detours. Overall it was an amazing trip and I hope to join other tours in the future.
You and your crew have an amazing way of making the days of cycling worry free. Hoping for next year and hoping you have some great tours this year.
I think it was well organized. Overall though the coffee was always ready, and the gear ready at the end of the day. The food and beer stops were easy to find. I think everyone in your organization wanted to make it successful for all the riders.
Amazing trips through Atlantic Canada Cycling!!!
I had been worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the more experienced bikers, but I found it was easy to find a niche. Made some terrific friends.
This Newfoundland trip was really fabulous. That is all people talked about on the way back. I look forward to more trips with you, try to bring some of my biking compatriots with me, too.
The website gave the impression that it was arranged and hosted by an expert in the area and biking, as well as, a great balance of information, quirkiness and humour. And amazing pictures to peruse. Also, the reasonable price, camping and the laid back feel of the descriptions, socializing, options, etc.
I hope you are well & you have the Best Cycle Touring Organization out there.
I thought it was an exceedingly well run tour. Suggestions for side trips were I thought it was an exceedingly well run tour. Suggestions for side trips were great.
Good rides, good roads, good company.
It was great! Thanks for bringing together such a great group of people!
Another 10/10 trip – excellent views, routes, and friends.
I had a great time. Loved it.. ..felt like I really got to see an in-depth view of nova Scotia that many visitors didn’t
Great job planning out route — everyone commented on how it progressed so perfectly day-by-day building up to the spectacular days of climbing on the Cabot Trail.
