PLANNING,  TOURS,  CAMPS & SUPPORT

Enjoy some of the most beautiful and challenging paved and gravel routes available in the country.  Let us plan and support your ride to provide you everything you need for the best experience.

RIDE WITH A PRO

Our cycling program leader is Vitor Zucco Schizzi, a former professional cyclist from Brazil and the youngest ever Brazilian road race champion after winning the title in 2019.    Vitor partners with owner Stephen Collins to organize and execute Applewood cycling camps, design custom guest cycling experiences and maintain our fleet of 3T Exploro bicycles.   Private rides with Vitor are subject to his availability and must be scheduled in advance.  Pricing for camps, customer guest cycling experiences, guided rides and bicycle rentals are quoted based on services requested unless offered as a standard package.  Check our calendar of events for Applewood group rides led by Vitor or other elite special guest ride leaders.  And join Applewood’s weekly Zwift ride every Thursday at 10:30AM ET!

3T BIKE RENTALS

We offer guests our fleet of world-class 3T Exploro bikes suitable for the road or gravel. Check them out at www.3t.bike. We’re happy to take great care of your bike if you prefer and can arrange for bike assembly and break down. If the weather is poor and you must ride, we also can arrange Zwift setups featuring Wahoo Kickr smart trainers.
