We take all the knowledge and lessons learned from from planning custom private trips and put them into a very limited number of “Comova Social Trips.”
We call these social trips because a huge part of the experience is meeting new people and making new friends with other cyclists who share your passion for adventure and exploration by bicycle.
But these are nothing like the bike tours you’ve seen before.
Comova Cycling adventures are remote, rugged, and peacefully all-inclusive- the perfect soul-healing recipe.

Redwood Pioneer
Dates: March 16-20, 2023
Place: Miranda, CA
Price: starting at $975 pp
You may not have heard of Miranda, California but you’ve certainly heard of Avenue of the Giants. Based in the heart of Humboldt’s old growth redwoods, Miranda provides the perfect base for a Comova Social Trip. We’ve reserved a vacation rental with 9 beds and 7 bedrooms spread out across 3 cabins. We’ll share meals in the main house and share ride stories around the fire pit each night.
You’ll have an option each day of routes ranging from short (~35 mi) and fully paved to long (60-100 mi) and over varying surfaces. The longer routes are challenging for their remoteness and the steepness of the climbs. But if you’re up to it, the rewards are huge–endless redwoods, the Eel River, and coastal views in a seldom visited corner of California.
We’re specifically looking for riders willing to test out our routes and provide feedback to help us optimize and tailor this trip for future offerings.

Heart of Humboldt
Dates: April 1-4, 2023
Place: Miranda, CA
Price: starting at $975 pp
This trip has all the same features of the Redwood Pioneer (above) but with the benefit of limited ride support. Each day’s marquee route will include vehicle support so you can carry less and ride with peace of mind knowing we’ve got your back. A second route option each day will be lightly supported.
We’ll be based in Miranda, California, where each ride starts deep in the heart of old growth redwoods. Our vacation rental cabins–Riverview, Pepperwood, and Caraway–can accommodate up to 8 riders. We’ll share meals in the main house and share ride stories around the fire pit each night. Optional sauna and massage are available.
Medium (~35 mi) and long (~60-80 mi) route options will be available each day. Road surfaces are mostly pavement of greatly varying quality and occasional short gravel stretches. Even the shorter routes will challenge you with steep clibs and lots of solitude. But if you’re up to it, the rewards are huge–endless redwoods, the Eel River, and coastal views in a seldom visited corner of California.

To call the Gifford Pinchot National Forest vast is an understatement. Its 1.32 million acres of old and second-growth forest include 8 designated Wilderness areas, 7 major river systems, 21 major lakes, and 2 volcanoes (St. Helens and Adams). In short, it’s a gravel riding paradise.
This trip focuses on the southern section, nestled between Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams and just north of the Columbia River Gorge, where you’ll encounter few cars along the gravel forest roads. But you’ll also find very little flat riding. The routes are challenging but rewarding.
Guests will be split across 8 bedrooms in two vacation rentals that sit right at the start of all our routes. From gradual climbs on wide forest roads to abandoned roads taken over by nature, the routes meander through lush forests dominated by Douglas fir and dotted with Western hemlock and Western red cedars with breakout views of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams on clear days.
