Bike the USA Trails

On flat ground or rugged trails, here is how to prepare for an afternoon excursion or one that lasts a few days.

Before you leave for the USA, study your itineraries by consulting Internet sites specialized in cyclist tours "bike trails".

One of them, Trails.com offers over 15,000 recent and detailed circuits covered on foot, on a bike, on mountain bikes or in a kayak. For each itinerary, the site gives a description of the circuit, the degree of difficulty, the length to cover and sometimes an approximation of the time it takes, a topographical map, the open season, the daily weather forecast and literature concerning these activities. A search engine lets you enter your criteria and returns with a list of circuits that might interest you.
Trails.com covers all of the United States and Canada. Browse through the section operator tours. Their tours might be an inspiration if you decide to organize your own trip.

Once on site, the easiest thing to do is to go to the Tourism Center "Visitor Center" where you will receive information on the best circuits, the level of difficulty and the address of bicycle leasers. If you do not have time to prepare your itinerary before leaving, go to the "public library" where you can do some research on Internet.

If you prefer to leave with an organization, we suggest that you consult tour operators we sites such as Backroads, the leader in the field for tourists Gorp or iExplore.com.

These companies specialize in open air trips and present a magnificent selection of bicycle circuits, multi sport vacations and walking expeditions. Your choice will be guided by the difficulty of the circuit and the type of accommodation you want (luxury hotel, comfortable inn or campsite).
