Noble Invention Bike Touring

It is easy to assume that you are paying too much for the Noble Invention Bike touring services. I thought so until I tried to book a trip myself. The cost to book each separate part of the trip yourself almost equals what you pay to Noble. And with Noble you have the peace of mind of knowing that if something happens on the trip they have you covered with their emergency numbers. We did the Great Allegheny Passage without a hitch and have booked the C&O Canal trip through them also. I feel much better about the fee since I attempted (at great lengths) to book the trip myself. Use their service. You will not regret it. They do a fantastic job.

NI gave me terrific support for my bicycle tour of the C&O Canal Towpath. Very responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. Everything worked out super well. Had a great adventure! Highly recommend.

We took two trip organized by Noble Invention during the Covid quarantine in the summer and fall 2020 - The GAP trail and the C&O Canal trail. They were different, but both were absolutely fabulous, and we were so grateful to have the advice, guidance, support and advance planning of Kelley and Sarah at Noble Invention, which was why our trips were so successful. We were booked into great B&Bs and hotels, and each place we stayed knew how to cater to trail riders - from providing bike cleaning stations and secure lock-up areas, to delicious breakfasts served promptly before jumping on nearby trails, with recommendations of where to stop on the trail for lunch, where to find bathrooms, sights to be sure to look for, and recommendations for dinners in towns. And the peace of mind provided by knowing we could call Noble for any emergencies that might arise on the trail was priceless. In fact, the very last day of our second ride the weather changed to cold and rainy, and it was a seamless seeming transition to getting picked up with our bikes and driven to DC, rather than just meeting the shuttle in DC. We were so grateful this was a possibility as riding in the cold rain would have been miserable. All the hospitality providers along the way had the nicest things to say about their relationships with Noble Invention, which was clearly to ur benefit. We look forward to future trips booked through Noble Invention.

Fun and good experience, through and through. Enjoyed myself. Thank you guys!

Sara knows the area well and makes great recommendations. She is quick to reply and readily adapts to what we need. She is a pleasure to work with.
