Love your website! Helped me plan numerous cycling adventures and inspired me to create a blog to share info on my own epic journeys
Your website is great, and I have booked things because of its advice. Thanks for your help.
Spontaneously planning a trip to the sun Tenerife. Of course Epic Road Rides was my first port of call...and of course it's loaded with info where to stay on the island, best cycling routes, and overwhelming awesomeness!!!! I love your website and the care you put into it. Thx!
A big thank you for sharing your routes! We just got home (to Toronto) from several weeks cycling in Spain and Portugal, and we found your routes very helpful in the Algarve.
Brilliant website - great resource for cyclists that helped me have a great trip to Tenerife. Thank you :)
Absolutely love drooling over your cycling destinations, all your hard work is much appreciated!
Amazing resource. I cannot imagine the hours that went into this. This is my second bike trip to France and this has been by far the best resource for planning the trips. Thank you.
Your website, reviews, and suggestions have been absolutely the best and so comprehensive. I can’t thank you enough for helping my husband and I have such a great holiday in Italy. Everything was spot on and made our trip so much more enjoyable.
