RIDER REVIEWS

What Riders Say.

  • Day 5 was pouring rain. Textile suits kept us dry, heated grips saved our fingers, and honestly riding through misty mountains was more beautiful than clear skies.

  • Was nervous about joining as a solo rider at 52. Group was diverse — ages 34 to 68, three couples and four solos. Never felt like the odd one out.

  • Rode with 6 strangers, came home with 6 friends. The Icefields Parkway on a BMW is spiritual. Alexandre knew every viewpoint, every good coffee stop, every hidden restaurant. Already rebooked for next year.

  • Halfway through Day 3, a bolt on my pannier sheared. The mechanic van was there in 8 minutes with the exact spare. That's the difference between amateur tours and NorthX.
