Hello to all Odyssey riders, from Sam and Isi in the office in Berry, Australia.
As 2025 begins and the months start to fly by we wanted to let you know of some changes we are implementing in regard to our payment scheduling and cancellation conditions.
We spend a lot of time picking our gear – bikes, GPS, tools, racks and safety devices.
We know that an exceptional product needs exceptional tools! Therefore over the years we have refined our gear choices, always looking for the best of the best.
We’re always so grateful for your loyalty and love of riding with us. In the past, when King John rode 10 Odysseys with us, we gave him his 11th Odyssey free. He was the first rider to reach this epic landmark of 10 Odysseys (and roughly 20,000km and 250,000 metres riding with us!)
It has been a natural progression that our Odysseys have greatly evolved as we strive to make bigger and better adventures. Once they were just rides across countries, covering great distances, crossing borders. Now, as we aim to deliver so much more….
John Montagner has literally ridden half way around the earth with us (or a full circumference of Mars!). He has ridden over 20,000km and climbed over 250,000 vertical metres!
We love the diversity of our guide team, our linguists and mechanics, historians and ex-professional riders, our archaeologists and motivators. However, no matter how hard we all try, it is the soigneurs who always come out as the favourites on tour!
Which Odyssey is longest, which is toughest, which has the biggest climbs, the most elevation, the best roads?!
Check the table below for a cycling based statistical analysis of our Odysseys up until and including 2023.
We have been asked a few times for a running sheet for our homepage video so here it is! Spot the cyclist in every shot and see how many locations you can identify!
This is a beautiful island to relax after a month on the road from Istanbul. It isn’t as touristy as so many Greek islands – you have genuine traditional villages, spectacular beaches and tons of history – perfect for an Odyssey as well as a post Odyssey relax!
On all our Odysseys, we will give you a custom Scicon Race Rain Bag with your name on it. These have been a revelation on tour since we introduced them in 2020.
