(Provence, France) — Ride & Seek is thrilled to announce a NEW 28-Day epic cycling tour from Maine to North Carolina. Split over two distinct stages, the route takes riders through 12 U.S. States from Bethel, Maine to Cherokee, North Carolina, with the Appalachian Trail providing the thematic backdrop. Starting with the rural and rustic splendor of Maine, guests will search out the road less travelled, exploring the states of New England and skirting around New York City before completing the first stage in the historic town of Gettysburg, PA. The scenery of the ride is enhanced by numerous National Parks and the second stage includes two of the best bike routes in the USA – Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Slated for May 30 – June 26, 2021, prices range from $5,590 to $11,200 USD per person double. The tour is a collaboration with Cycle of Life Adventures.
