WomanTours
Creating small, inn-to-inn road bicycle tours for women since 1995.
Their trips are fully supported with two guides and a vehicle to serve you on the road, carry your luggage, provide your meals, show you the routes, and fit you to a bicycle if you need one. All you have to do is show up and ride!
The bike trips are designed for women of all ages, abilities and interests. Some come with roommates while others come alone, but everyone goes home as friends. If you don't mind sharing a room, they'll match you with a roommate.
We all cycle at our own pace. If you wish to skip a few miles, we’ll pick you up in our van. If you'd like to ride an electric-assist e-bike, you can rent one from us for your tour. We believe there's no better way to explore the world around us than on a bicycle.

Our Ireland trip explores Connemara, the broad peninsula of unspoiled beauty in the west of the island.
The rocky peaks of the Twelve Bens mountain range will dominate the skyline as we cycle through the Connemara National Park, along the rugged Atlantic coastline and by small towns and villages where free-range sheep outnumber the human population. The roads are quiet and the scenery beautiful. When we're not biking, you'll have plenty of time to visit historic sites, shop for Aran sweaters, and enjoy the Irish pubs.

Join us in charming Cooperstown, nestled at the tip of Glimmerglass Lake in the Susquehanna Valley.
Much of the land around the town has been owned by the same few families and passed down through generations. There's been surprisingly little development over the years, leaving us with lightly traveled roads through rural countryside. When we're not on our bicycles exploring our picturesque surroundings, there's a lot to do in this vibrant historic town!

58-Day Cross-Country Bike Tour
Are you interested in bicycling cross-country? Coast to coast? Across America? Then here’s your chance for an unforgettable cross-country bike journey from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida. For women only!
We designed this tour with women over 50 in mind, but women of any age are welcome. We will dip our tires into the Pacific Ocean on Friday down the road from our hotel catching the sunrise over the city. Our route takes us on a bike path as we leave the city of San Diego. We then begin the adventure of a lifetime over back roads of the southernmost part of the United States.
Along the way we’ll experience scenic, rural America and small town hospitality. Our van carries your luggage. Dry, warm beds and a hot shower await you every night. No camping for us! Descriptive, "can't get lost" maps by Adventure Cycling and our own detailed cue sheets show you the way.
After 4 days of cycling, we will have our first day off to let our bodies recover from conquering the mountains east of San Diego, and to prepare for more "bumps" ahead. Our miles per day are moderate and we'll feel ourselves getting stronger with every mile.
There will be 9 rest days over the course of the trip. We schedule these at scenic stops where there is an opportunity to explore the area. We strongly believe in giving everyone time to see the natural wonders of our country and to relax to keep our bodies healthy and strong.
We ride from the beach in California, through the saguaro desert of Arizona, over the continental divide in New Mexico and into the wildflowers of Texas. Then it’s on to the bayou of Louisiana, across the Mississippi River, and onto the white sand beaches at Dauphin Island of Alabama. Finally, we celebrate our finish in the nation’s oldest city of St. Augustine, Florida.
- We offer a reasonable price. You’ll find we have the cheapest per day rate for any hotel cross-country bike touring company.
- We include maps by Adventure Cycling along with our own easy-to-read cue sheets and electronic GPS files.
- We carry your luggage, and you, if necessary.
- We offer healthy, home-cooked meals prepared by our traveling chef who understands the “performance food” needed to undertake such a challenge. She'll accommodate food allergies and provide a non-meat protein source for vegetarians, but if you require a vegan or gluten-free diet, there will be a small surcharge.
- We support the tour with two vehicles equipped with supplies, first aid, food and water.
- We limit the group size to approximately 25 plus staff. You’re neither alone nor anonymous. We guarantee you’ll make some lifelong friends along the way.

We designed this tour over a decade ago and continue to refine it.
This year, we've upgraded a couple of the lodgings and planned an extra day of cycling in bicycle-friendly Tucson to explore the Sonoran Desert. The dry, sunny weather and the variety of routes make this tour a perfect way to get a jump on your cycling season. With the daily options, you can choose to bike as little or as much as you'd like.
