Arizona Bike Tour

Welcome to your first morning in this incredible, once-in-a-lifetime destination. After a vibrant and delicious breakfast we’ll head towards the town of Fountain Hills on today's route. As we set out, you'll notice the white plume of a world-famous fountain visible just beyond Fountain Hills. This natural wonder can be seen from as far away as the Superstition Mountains, Carefree, and even from aircraft. We’ll spin through vistas of McDowell Mountain Regional Park and Tonto National Forest and if you're interested, enjoy a short hike after a picnic lunch at McDowell Regional Preserve. Stop for a few photos to remind your friends back home what they're missing. This afternoon, unwind on your own at the spa with a good book, or even better, a massage. Dinner will be on your own tonight and maybe try your luck at the Buffalo Chip Saloon where you can test your mechanical bull-riding skills.

Awaken this morning looking forward to a quintessentially Phoenix day, knowing that you can enjoy everything at your own pace. We will take a gorgeous spin in the saddle passing by saguaro that can grow to be over 30 feet tall at the rate of about a foot a decade. This ride is particularly picturesque with Piestawa Peak and Camelback Mountain off in the distance. Our ride is meant to take you into the heart of desert scenery, where you'll see the flora and fauna that make this region a gem among the Arizona landscapes. This is the middle of our adventure together and today may provide a welcome break from the saddle. If you wish, enjoy one of the many other activities that the Phoenix area has to offer such as golfing, stand-up paddle boarding, hot-air ballooning, or even horseback riding (please note these activities are not included in the trip cost but our guides are happy to help you coordinate). Once back to the spa, the afternoon is yours to relax and unwind. Today may also be a lovely day to take advantage of one of CIVANA's wellness classes. Tonight, we'll dine together as a group at Giordanno's and enjoy their wonderful home-style Italian cooking.

Make sure you get a hearty breakfast today so you're ready and fueled for our most exciting and beautiful day yet. It's another perfectly sunny weather report, and we will use the great weather as a chance to make our way to Bartlett Lake on a challenging cruise of about 40 miles with 4,000 ft. of elevation gain. There is always the option to jump in the shuttle if you choose, but don't skip the chance to cool off with a dip in the lake at our gourmet picnic lunch destination. Tonight, we'll meet for our last night as a group; we will reflect on our accomplishments and memorable moments with all our newfound friends while we enjoy a social hour and dinner at Terras Restaurant! It's truly been a wonderful week.

Even though the desert is reliable and never-changing, sadly, it’s time for us to say goodbye to the Valley of the Sun. Rise at your own pace today and enjoy a final breakfast at the hotel. Hopefully your legs are satiated from the riding this week, but we do have a short final spin as one last chance to take in the views. Check out of the hotel is at 11:00 AM, when your guide team will take you to the Phoenix International Airport (PHX) for your return home or wherever your adventures take you next.

Welcome to sunny Phoenix, also known as Valley of the Sun, where there is the promise of 300 days of sunshine annually! You're about to experience some of Arizona's finest cycling culture with smooth pavement and endless great weather. Your guide team will meet you in the hotel lobby of the CIVANA Resort and Spa at 11:00AM. We'll kick off the week with an 18-mile loop that will begin with a nourishing lunch, followed by a ride safety talk and personal bike fitting to your Trek bike to ensure a comfortable week ahead. After our first spin of the week, you'll check-in to your hotel room and explore this incredible resort, filled end-to-end with desert culture and spa luxury. Tonight, join the group for social hour and dinner at Terras to discuss the exciting week ahead.

Featured meal:

Terras at CIVANA Wellness Resort and Spa

CIVANA offers two on-site restaurants that are lead by Executive Chef Scott Winegard and his culinary team. The restaurants, Terras and Seed, with their contemporary, inviting spaces and panoramic views of the Sonoran desert, create innovative menus by highlighting fresh, sustainable ingredients and clever flavor combinations. From breakfasts that offer vibrant, scrumptious, and nutritious options to the dinner options that offer mouthwatering bites of glazed, oven-roasted sunchoke, fire-roasted cauliflower, or charred hearts of palm, there is plenty to spotlight their focus on local ingredients. Discover the grass-fed beef or the wild confit salmon, while vegetarians enjoy the abundance of garden vegetables, all creatively accessorized with dishes such as puffed rice and accented with Shishito peppers, sorrel, and tarragon. With a little something for everyone, enjoy your first round of drinks on Trek Travel and let’s toast to our upcoming adventures.
