In the past year, we’ve developed three amazing new bike touring and bikepacking routes: Canada’s Vancouver Crossing Loop, our first fully international route; the Klamath Mountains Loop, which explores its newly undammed namesake watershed (launches December 16, 2025); and the Epic-with-a-capital-E Golden Gravel Trail, a 3,688-mile, mixed-surface cycling journey spanning from Oregon’s Pacific Coast to the mighty Mississippi River (launches early 2026).
And while we’ll release all three new routes for free on Ride with GPS to help fulfill our nonprofit mission to grow the sport of bicycle travel in an age of free digital routes, we didn’t skimp on the details you expect from an Adventure Cycling map. Every route was ground-truthed but paid and volunteer route researchers, who rode or drove every mile. And thanks to Ride with GPS’s Experiences platform, we’ve been able to include detailed service listings, including bike shops, restaurants, cyclist-friendly hostels, campgrounds, and more. Plus, notes on route conditions, nearby historical sites, climate information, and route updates from other cyclists. Oh, and did we mention the turn-by-turn audio navigation cues?
