Our Tour Participants Are The Greatest
Here are more comments you have sent our way. Thanks for touring with us!
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!
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.
I did a circuit of Cape Breton Island with this company. One of the most memorable trips of my life.
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.
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.
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.
We like the relaxed format (ie no guided bike tour, etc.) where you can do your own thing each day. As repeat people, its really fun to meet up with people we have met on the other tours.
It’s a once in a lifetime trip! Enjoy!
We enjoyed our Liked the comprehensiveness of the way the tour was organized, the staff and the way the tour was supported. We had a great time, your staff is terrific, the days were well planned.
First Class
Helpful crew, accurate maps and cue sheets, good planning, like-minded participants. All my expectations were met – I particularly appreciated the general organization of the tour and the friendly crew.
I think the tour was very successful – and obviously word is spreading – the tour was superb. Thanks!
I had been on 7 ACC tours, prior, and knew what to expect. Great time, great route, great attendees.
Fantastic trip – thanks for everything!
Thanks for a great week – you certainly will see us again.
An excellent job overall! I was very impressed with the effort that you put in as well as with the turnout for the tour. It was nice to cycle with the group after being on the road by myself!
Great trip! You haven’t aged (much)!
Thank you from the pampered princesses.
Super – it wasn`t “over organized” – enough flexibility to do your own thing, yet, enough info etc. to make it a great experience.”
What a great bike ride it was! We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent with each one of you. Group dynamics were important, and it was good.
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 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.
1st bike trip ever & I loved it! Great organization and excellent leadership. Hip t-shirt colours also. Thanks for the memories.
We have done the Cape Breton, Newfoundland and Eastern PEI tours over the past four summers. Always a great time and amazing for my legs and cardio. I like seafood too and being out East. Can’t wait.
I definitely feel that I got my money’s worth from the trip, and will probably do another one of your excursions sometime soon.
Thanks for another fantastic memorable trip.
Magnificent scenery, great cycling and hiking. These will be the wonderful memories I will have from this trip. Thank you for a great tour.
You’re just about 100%, in fact you are 100% on the stuff within your control.
I really enjoyed this low-key type of tour. Terrific!
You were
- SO
supportive
This was my second tour – the first was so enjoyable, I wanted to do another. Well organized, good camping grounds, doable to a range of abilities. Wonderful tour in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
A great trip. Thank You!
I’m on my fourth trip with ACC at the moment and I plan to do more. I like the way the tours work: riders get just what they need and are free to explore on their own. I also like the atmosphere which is relaxed and friendly. Highly recommended!
Amazing trips through Atlantic Canada Cycling!!!
Thanks for the great tour! I liked this way of taking a holiday, and will consider doing it again.
Another adventure. Thanks – great job.
What a great low-key operation. Thanks to you all.
Like the independence of the structure, not herding together of the whole group. Like the variety of eating, sleeping, and activities available. The organizing of the food in the crates with shopping along the way was superb. The cooking arrangements worked very well. There was plenty of hot water, dishes, soap, propane. All that was very good.
We have traveled a lot but liked very few places as much as your Newfoundland tour. All the many people who we sent our virtual slide show to commented on the natural beauty of NF.
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.
Just wanted to send you an email to thank you for organizing the Cabot Trail tour last weekend. Some of the hills were hell to climb but the scenery was quite nice. I think what was especially nice about the experience was meeting all the great people….kind of kindred spirits in adventure and health. I also really appreciated your organization of transporting tents, etc.
Good variety with mix of long rides, short rides and off days. Got good value for the cost of the tour.
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.
I rode the whole distance on a wild moose chase.
The first two days were long and uphill, and after that it was mild riding, even the 80 mile day in the rain. We chose to do a combination of camping and B&Bs, which seemed to be a nice way to go, although there were many who camped each night. Getting food became easier as the trip went on, and cooperative cooking of meals increased as the trip developed. All of this adding richly to the experience. We had a great time and would certainly go an another Atlantic Canada Cycling Ride again.
The first thing I would tell you about the tour is that there were cyclists of all strengths participating, from novices to experts, and I believe that everybody found the tour to be well designed, and challenging. The terrain is sometimes hilly, but the big factor is wind — tailwinds and you’re laughing, headwinds you’re crying.
Atlantic Canada Cycling’s management style of the tour was very good — they don’t baby you, so that you feel like you’re accomplishing the tour on your own — but they provide enough support that you don’t have to worry about anything but cycling and having a good time
I remember the Cape Breton tour clearly. It was fantastic. I hope to do another tour with ACC one day… sooner than later.
Excellent! Great weather, new friends, interesting site and beautiful seaside scenery
I had a great time. The route planning was fantastic and ensured we were always on safe roads with great views. Also made sure we saw the best of Nova Scotia.
Mixing camping and cycling together, two of my favorite things. Much more fun than hotel hopping – plus a bakery in every little town, met some great people, made for an epic event. Thanks to Gary and crew for a unforgettable vacation, hope to see you next year.
The group dynamics were the most important factor to me in having a good tour and they were really excellent. There was a positive supportive and hospitable energy on the whole tour. It feels wrong not to be seeing you all again! I’m certainly up for more ACC tours in the future. Peace, love, happiness…see you on the road.
The remoteness, land, sea and people touch us somewhere deep inside that we like. The trip filled a special spot in our life hope will be with us forever. Living down here is sometimes like living in a blender. NF and PEI remind us of who we really are.
Again thank you for organizing a great trip. It has become an annual end of summer tradition for me. A great test of my biking and a great way to meet other cyclist.
Just a note of thanks for a job well done. The scenery was beautiful, the participants friendly, the mountains challenging. Overall I had a wonderful time. I realize it must have been a large undertaking. Thanks for being a great organizer.
After that first tour I decided to do as many of your tours as I could over the years. Thank you for yet another great tour. Hope to see you again in another year or so.
Thanks for the !trip of a lifetime!
Great job, great company.
I liked the fact that everyone can do the trip in their own way – no pressure to be anywhere and no competition.
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.
We love your website (and) your grass roots approach and the fact that we can prepare our own meals at the campsite. Also that there may be an option for bed and breakfasts.
I loved it! The distances were manageable, the campgrounds were lovely and the biking was beyond amazing!!
(B.) and I would like to commend you and your staff for an absolutely wonderful bicycle trip around the eastern part of P.E.I. which we did with you. It was everything we expected and more. We were very impressed by the organization of the tour. Itineraries were very detailed and well planned, with suggestions for stops along the way, but at the same time extremely flexible so people could start, stop, and continue the trip at leisure.
We were free to improvise go our way. Lots of options. We were lucky to have a great group of people!
Appreciated the sense of camaraderie amongst cyclists. …all for one …one for all kind of spirit. That attracts me. Loved it. Thanks for the memories!
Caroline and I want to extend to you our greatest appreciation for opening our minds and bodies to the experience of Newfoundland and Labrador. Your leadership was absolutely superb, and your attention to all riders needs and queries was outstanding. The route and accommodations could not have been better.
We feel we got more than our money’s worth.
Spectacular… 3 years running! ..see you again next year!
I truly hope everyone had as great a time as I did. It was by far the most fun I had on a bike tour.
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!
We loved it. A simple inexpensive, no frills tour. Just what we were looking for.
It exceeded our expectations because of the kindness of both organizers and cyclists
The Gaspé tour was the best experience of cycling I had in my entire life ! Well done to all.
I died and went to heaven many times over. Wow!
My first ride, Baja, Mexico was done in the 80’s. The second goal was the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. I rode this in July. The opportunity was Gary Conrod, (www.atlanticcanadacycling.com) who conducted a tour of the trail as part of his schedule of rides.
Gary runs well organized but hands off tours. He trucks your luggage, arranges for campgrounds, and supplies a simple route sheet. The rest is up to you. The cue sheet gives one word directions (left, right) at local landmarks. One day he used an actual sentence… “Left, Listen! We Said Left! Don’t Go Up The Hill”. You get the idea. A unique feature of the cue sheet is that it locates the first and last restaurant of the day and a likely stop for lunch (if they are open). And for those eating in camp, the location of a store where you may put your bagged purchase in a bin provided. Gary will then pick it up and bring it to camp for the end of the day. Ice cream is not a good purchase.
A really pleasant tour. All expectations were met. As a result a greater understanding and appreciation of fellow Canadian citizens of an area different from my home. Really well organized, good daily maps and sites of local interest provided, tour personnel willing to assist and provide without hesitation.Really well done.
I will not hesitate to refer fellow cyclists to your tours.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…it was life altering!
Very personal, very well done, good group spirit.
I have participated in over 30 multi-day bike tours since 1994. The ACC tours have been among the best and I will certainly return for more tours with Gary. I will keep an eye on your website to see what you have planned for next year and the years to come.
Thanks for everything including all my questions. Thanks also for all the wonderful riding routes, especially the ride from Dingwall to Cheticamp.
Just wanted to let you know what a great time I had cycling with you in PEI. This was the first time I’d gone on an organized tour. I really liked how well you thought out the itinerary, and provided us maps so we could set our own pace and alternate the route if we liked. I found some gravel roads that put my mountain bike to good use.
I like to provide somewhat for myself, so the chance to cook and camp without having to carry all my gear solo was nice. It was easy to make friends, yet have as much time alone as we wanted.
If you ever need a local recommendation Maine, Id be glad to talk with anyone about the PEI tour. Hope I will be able to go on the Newfoundland tour someday.
We indeed found that Gary and his crew made the entire trip a real treat with the services readily available to help out. We met others who had also been on more than one of ACC Eastern Canada tours, so that also speaks well of how smoothly things are organized. The only real variable is the weather, which NOBODY can predict or change.
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 just wanted to say thank you in general for a wow tour. I thought you id a fine job of working hard to meet our needs and answer our unending questions.
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.
I have not forgotten the wonderful Newfoundland Tour – unforgettable!
The route planning was fantastic. Support crew were superb. Organization of the truck and equipment was amazing. Staff knowledge of the area was really good.
It was very obvious that 100% was put into making this festival one to meet the needs, to have fun, and to educate people about Nova Scotia and its people.
To some people it was a challenge and they did fine, we actually added about 15 miles (24 km) /day (but we bike a lot).
ACC tours are absolutely the highlight of my year. What’s not to like. Good staff, good leader. You should consider charging more; running close to the margin can’t be low-stress.
Beyond beyond beyond my expectation! Super amazingly fun!
Thanks for another great bike tour!
Your customers were all first rate folks and we made friends that we hope will continue to ride your routes.
Thanks for a great tour – hope to do more next summer material (daily maps, route description, opportunities for food, etc) was excellent.
Another great tour! Thank you so much for everything you did for us. Hope to see you on another tour.
Excellent pre-trip information and response to specific questions. Incredible value.
Would like to offer congratulations to all who had a hand in the organization – and a big thank-you.
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the tour this year. Just what I needed! I am looking forward to doing another one next year..
Thanks for another great trip! I’ll be back!
Congratulations on another fine trip. The tour allowed sufficient opportunities for additional mileage. The tour gives back more than what is paid for. Looking forward to next year if I can make it.
I hope to do Cape Breton this year. I very much enjoyed how well you and your guys organized PEI. Thanks!
