“Is it some kind of cycling parade?”
“Do I have to follow a guide?”
“So, it’s a race?”
We hear these questions all the time. And it’s no wonder – Epic Rides really isn’t the kind of ride you’re used to. It’s not a race. It’s not a cycling parade. And it’s definitely not a classic guided tour.
Epic Rides is a concept of its own.
What exactly is Epic Rides?
Simply put – these are cycling events designed to give you everything you’d expect from a serious bike event, but without the stopwatch, categories, and stress. All of this at the most attractive destinations in Croatia.
The routes are carefully planned and well-marked.
At the back of the group, there’s always a sweep rider making sure no one gets left behind.
If a breakdown happens – our support vehicles and technical crew are there for you.
So, whatever happens, you won’t end up alone in the woods or some remote area where nobody will find you. 🌲
Instead of racing – you get the full experience: a start zone with a great vibe, a feed zone for a break, and a finish line with food, music, and laughter. Everything a real bike event should have – just without the pressure.
Ride at your own pace
At Epic Rides, you’re not competing with anyone else. You ride at your own rhythm, choosing whether to stop at a viewpoint, snap a photo of the landscape, or simply slow down and breathe.
Usually, there are two route options:
- Epic – the longer adventure
- Short – the lighter option
You can ride with your crew, or join new friends you meet along the way. The only rule is – enjoy the bike and everything that comes with it.
In a time when everyone is rushing, Epic Rides is your chance to slow down and reconnect with nature, your bike – and yourself.
The most beautiful cycling routes in Croatia
How many times have you thought: “It would be amazing to explore Istria by bike?”
Ride the gravel roads of Gorski Kotar or the forest trails of Velebit?
Or enjoy an easy ride through the Gacka Valley, with views of a river straight out of a postcard?
Epic Rides takes you there.
So far, we’ve ridden through Istria, Zagorje, Srijem, Gorski Kotar, and Dalmatia. We’ve even explored several islands. Every Epic Rides route is unique, and everyone ends up with their own favorite.
Croatia truly looks like a National Geographic documentary – and a bicycle is the best way to experience it live.
Epic Rides shares similarities with races and cycling parades: a start zone, a big group, great atmosphere. But there’s no crowding, no pressure, no technically demanding sections – and it’s not all just asphalt.
For every Epic Rides event, we’ve worked hard to show you the very best.
Because the best journeys aren’t the ones where the finish line matters most, but the ones where you enjoy every single kilometer.
See you on the trail. See you at Epic Rides.
