NeverLost is Born
When we set out to create NeverLost it was out of a desire to bring the rich history of bike touring in Europe to the United States. The U.S. contains some of the most stunning mountain passes, lush forests and gravel routes in the world. From the Appalachian and Blue Ridge to the Rocky Mountains the potential for adventure by bike is unlimited and often under appreciated. Whether you’re looking for a way to celebrate an occasion with a friend or spouse or maybe you just need a vacation to get away from it all NeverLost is here to lead the way so you can focus on letting go and enjoying the ride. We also commit to prioritize an inclusive environment that is respectful to cyclists of all races, gender identities, religion and background.
We began by tapping into our own passion. Co-founders Ray and Spencer like to say bike racing is in their blood. Whether riding slow or fast it’s a love that is deeply engrained in each of them. It stems from a desire to feel that ultimate sense of freedom, the kind of feeling you can only tap into when on a bike. They channeled their combined passions into creativity and in 2021 began planning for a launch in 2022. Ray and Spencer have both traveled the world seeking adventure, with NeverLost they turn to their own backyard to begin a new adventure on some of the most glorious roads in the U.S.
The video above was produced during our first prototype tour run on October 2021. Many of the roads featured in the video will be a part of the routes we designed for the 2022 tours. To find out more about the tours we have lined up visit our Current Tours page.
NeverLost will hold it’s first tour in June 2022 with others to follow in August and October. From there, plans to scale up and to locations beyond the southeast will follow in 2023 and 2024. We’ll hope you’ll join us on an upcoming adventure.
NeverLost is here to serve as your guide and ride leader offering gravel and road specific tours ranging from three to seven days. We serve as your personal road captain and support handling everything from food and lodging to post-ride massages and mechanical. We keep the show on the road so you can focus on having fun and enjoying your experience.
Chef-catered meals, private lodging, soigneur massages and plenty of NL swag makes your off the bike time just as special as when you’re on it. NeverLost is committed to bringing positivity to cycling, insisting on inclusivity and standing against the ego-driven, macho mentality that is pervasive in the sport. Join the NeverLost crew in 2022!
