Very easy to book the bikes online and the staff were very helpful when we checked in.  They went over the operation of the bikes in great detail and answered all our questions.  I’ll be back to Epic!

Bridging the Gap
Epic Cycling managed to bridge the gap between 2 very different activities, cycling and touring wineries. They did it with skill and panache and kept it fun, informative and stress free for everyone.

Weekend Cycling trip
This is my second time riding with Epic. i was able to get a group of my friends who are avid cylists to join me. It was so much fun riding with the ride leader and my friends. We went to Wild Goose, Noble and Church States wineries. it did not feel like biking at all but a lot of wine tasting and eating. we rode from Osoyoos to Wild Goose Winery and back and it was about 95km. Tamara was top notch and her attending to detail was outstanding. She even supplied me with Tylenol when she found out that i had back problem. Thanks again for making the tour extra special for me and my friends.

We really enjoyed our two-day rental from Epic Cycling Outdoor Adventures in Penticton. It was easy to book ahead by phone, and the rental process was seamless on both days, with a convenient location and good instructions on how to use the bikes. We would rent here again for sure.

Best way to see the vineyards
What an amazing trip with Darcy and Tamara and the best way to see the vineyards. We had a great ride and a tonne of fun with the crew. We met near town and were straight onto the Kettle Valley Trail. We rode up to Arawana - gentle 2% grade uphill to the lookout and then it was down hill to the first vineyard for tastings and an amazing curated lunch put on by Tamara. These guys have got it dialed in. We ride on bikes and they have a support truck that meets you along the way with water and anything we needed. Any wine purchases go in the back of the truck so you're free to peddle and enjoy the incredible views. They select the vineyards for each trip so you're always going to get something different and very fun. They also know the operators so you get looked after well at the vineyards. Darcy was a great lead and made sure everyone was okay on the ride. It's an easy ride for pretty much anyone and they'll pace the ride to the group. When some of the group has ebikes the rest of us worked a bit harder ;) Thoroughly recommended and the highlight of the vacation.

Above and Beyond with Customer Service.
My husband and I along with my son and his gf recently rented e bikes to do the Kettle Valley Trail in Penticton. The rental process was efficient and well organized. I ended up having an issue with my bike about 20 minutes into the trip (100% my fault!) and I was beyond pleased at how well it was dealt with. I was able to get a new cycle in a reasonable amount of time to allow my husband and I to continue our journey to Little Tunnel and enjoy the days plans. I will continue to recommend Epic Cyling to anyone interested in bike rentals in the Okanagan. They truly care about the customer experience…HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Epic cycling, epic views = Amazing time!
Our tour guide Jeff took us on a great tour up to the tunnel and down to some great wineries. Thanks Tamara for making the tour extra special. So much fun biking hard and then enjoying tastings and lunch at wineries - all on bike. We’ll be back for sure! Anyone thinking of this should stop thinking and just do it!

We are waiting to see if the senior rider gets a refund for the rider who reserved a spot, and then realized that it would be unsafe for her to try to use an e bike.

Epic Cycling e-bike Wine Tour
Wonderful tour today, September 17, 2020 with guides Ann and Martin. Tamara brought the van to pick up our purchases and provide us a delicious picnic lunch. Loved it! Great wineries. We were celebrating a 79th birthday and even the wineries were made aware.

Fabulous Winery Tour On Bike For All Skill Levels
This was my first bike tour ever, let alone winery tour. I decided to go when I found out that the tour would accept cyclists of all skill levels, because when I first heard of this tour I pictured a slow, leisurely pace - which could be fantastic for many people - but for me I was hoping to have something a little faster through the (beautiful) hills of Penticton. I was assured by the owners Tamara and Darcy that they would have different categories of groups based on skill lever, and ride leaders that could accommodate even the racier guys like me. The Epic Cycling website told me everything else I could want to know, and I was on my way with the beautiful sunshine forecasted for that day. The morning rendezvous was a short meet and greet with the other cyclists, the leaders and the owners of Epic Cycling. Cyclists were then asked to choose their ride leaders based on their skill level. Nutrition and water was available, and the setup was simple - yet completely effective. We were on our way. My leader was great, and based on my skill level, we were actually able to make our routes to all the stops longer than that of the other groups because we could cover more distance due to our speed. Yet the entire day, all of the groups met up with each other almost always within 5 minutes of each other at the designated stops. It was really great as you never had to wait around for the other cyclists and gave it a better 'group' feel to it. The three stops we had along the way were all fantastic. Before we arrived they were prepared for us. Tables, if needed were all set and ready to go, and the wine tasting and food was ready to serve. I'm not much of a drinker myself, but, by the amount of wine and cider that the cyclists were purchasing from all the stops I have to assume it was all top notch product. And that brings up something else important. There is a sag vehicle provided for the tour. If there was any bikes that needed repair, sun lotion, or anyone needed any sort of help there was a vehicle close by for support. This also meant that people could purchase their alcohol, and the vehicle would tag it all and carry it for them until the end of the tour. Well done. The actual route, I thought couldn't get any better. It's definitely not easy, and while there were a couple ladies wearing running shoes on their bikes (And they did just fine) every other cyclist had clip in shoes. BTW, Epic said that they have rental bikes and equipment ready through local shops if any guests don't have their own. So, while I wouldn't say the ride was easy, there was a fair amount of flat sections, and even downhills. Of course, that means there are uphills too. I saw a few people struggling on some of the hills - but I believe the tour routes do adjust from time to time depending on rider feedback. Having never ridden in Penticton though, it was really, really nice. There was not a single traffic stop light on the entire 70km route. A couple stop signs, but that's it. Traffic was minimal, even for a weekend and it really helped to relax you so you can enjoy the sights and sounds out there. If you're anything more than an extremely casual cyclist, you probably have Strava and after the ride you could see the people who you rode with that day, or chatted with during meals and by the end of the tour I had some new Strava buddies which was great (if you're into that). Having done this now, I'd be willing to go back with some more racing buddies to have a great day hammering between stops up through the hills, and yet at the same time I'd be happy to head out for a more casual tour with a loved one and really soak up that sun and atmosphere of the larger groups. You have to try it, or at least check them out as it's totally worth it.

Fantastic ride, great people, beautiful wine
I've been on many cycle tours but this the best and we had a blast. Tamara and Darcy put together a perfect day for us which included an awesome ride, beautiful wine stops and wonderful food. They really know Penticton and gave us tips for restaurants, places to stay and the best wineries. You can sign up for pre-planned rides or contact them for custom. Either way, you'll have an amazing day. Penticton is the perfect spot for riding and wine tasting. Book a ride, you won't be disappointed.

Cycling Fun!
We contacted Epic Cycling to organize a bike tour for 6 of us in the Penticton area. Tamara designed an amazing custom tour just for us. She organized everything from our accommodation, wine tasting, lovely vineyard picnics, and restaurant bookings. Tamara also drove the support van and would meet us at every stop with water, cold towels (I loved those!), smiles, and encouragement. The van was indispensable for carrying all of our wine purchases. Our guides, Ann and Rob, were truly amazing. They are very accomplished athletes who are so knowledgeable about biking and the area but also manage to be down to earth and a lot of fun. We would absolutely book with Epic again!

Epic Cycling Tour
We have been on a lot of bike tours and even run a few ourselves. Epic did a great job, the wine and cider stops were excellent, the food and wine were awesome. The ride was good, challenging, but not too challenging...although there was one hill that some will definitely have a problem with, a few walked up it..but it was relatively short. They have found some really good vendors to stop at, we know the Okanagan very well and these were stops that all will really enjoy. Overall, it is a ride that will appeal to a wide cross section of riders...but make sure you let them know what kind of rider you are, so that you get the ride that suits your ability.

Epic Cycling Wine Tour
In early May I had the opportunity to experience my first group ride while wine touring the beautiful Penticton/Okanagan Falls area. It was amazing! We stayed in the beautiful Casa Colina B&B in Kaleden, hosts Brenda and Rick were wonderful. Amazing breakfasts, tranquil setting, everything needed for a weekend away! The ride was guided by several great ride leaders, ensuring everyone arrived safely to each venue. We headed out mid-morning on what turned out to be the perfectly sunny day First stop was Howling Moon Cidery, Oliver - might have bought a few bottles. :-) Our next stop was Covert Farms, where we enjoyed 5 wine samples and an amazing organic charcuterie board. Last stop was Wild Goose Winery - more samples and gourmet pizza baked on the BBQ. All cider & wine purchased was transported back via the support vehicle. I'm a recreational rider who is comfortable rode riding, but do not know the Okanagan area. Epic Cycling provided great ride leaders that ensured all riders rode at a comfortable pace while staying safe. Tamara & Darcy also provided everything you could need for mechanical support, first aid, cold water bottles, energy food - as well as transporting the very important wine purchases! :-) If you love to bike, want to meet great people, and need a weekend out of the city - Epic Cycling is a must!

The team at Epic Cycling made it easy to enjoy an incredible day of biking on the Naramata Bench! Tamara gave us great advice by recommending e-bikes after we told her where we wanted to ride (given the elevation of the trails we would be taking on). All of the staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful, check in and bike return were a breeze. Nobody in our group have rode an e-bike before but after some quick coaching from Tamara we were ready to take on the day! Helmets and locks are included with the bike rental and the bikes performed well for the whole day. If you are looking to rent bicycles while in Penticton, I couldn’t recommend Epic Cycling Outdoor Adventures enough!

The best experience in Penticton
Darcy and Tamara gave us the best experience of our trip. The group had varied levels of cycling ability from beginner to advanced yet we all had a ton of fun and a great ride. Awesome food and great wine tastings we wouldn’t have known about make this tour a cut above and it’s so well organized from start to finish. The thought, knowledge of the area and friendly attitude Epic Cycling brings to each ride makes for an unbeatable day in beautiful Penticton. We’ll definitely be back.

Epic wine tasting ride
This is my first experience on a wine tasting "Ride" I wasn't sure what to expect. We showed up with our bikes and everything else was taken care of, ride nutrition, water even hydration tabs. The pre-ride briefing was informative introducing the guides, route and pace. Off we went on an Epic adventure 3 stops tasting great Okanagan wine. A Carcuterie board was ready for us at one of the stops to go along with the tastings. Later in the ride on our final stop an amazing flatbread pizza. I also really liked the fact I could buy the wines I wanted on this tour and the driver of the support vehicle packed it all in the vehicle for us. Fantastic people and service. We will definitely be back for more. Thanks guys.

An Epic Tour!
Tamara organized an amazing tour for us six women! We biked, hiked and drank incredible wine. Tamara had organized everything down to the smallest detail including biking two days and hiking one, five vineyard visits with wine tastings, three vineyard lunches (delicious catering at each), hotel, airport pick up and drop off and wonderful restaurant bookings. Our guides Anne and Rob took great care of us and Tamara met us at several destinations along the way to deliver food and carry wine that we'd purchased. They were very professional and lots of fun. I would definitely book with Tamara and Darcy again!

Today we rented 2 bikes to go in the Kettle Valley Rail trail from Penticton up North. It was a beautiful ride with very nice views. The bikes from Epic are of high quality and we received good and friendly help from Lauren and her boss.
