The beauty of Vietnam and Laos, By Bike. Bespoke cycling experiences for road and gravel since 2015.
Weโve been sharing the beauty of Vietnam and Laos, by bike, since 2015, providing bespoke cycling experiences for road and gravel. We know and love the roads, the cultures and the cuisines of these amazing nations. We always strive to understand and respect Vietnam and Laosโ peoples and their environments, and create goodwill wherever we go. At Velo Vietnam we create bespoke, designed tours for in
dividuals and groups. Our only set date tour is the four stage Northern Frontier challenge, but we will be adding the Western Frontier for 2022. For more about us and our team, see https://www.velovietnam.cc/about-us

Come and ride our favourite roads in the Far North with us this October!
This format is for those who wants to ride long, beautiful days in the far northern Frontier Area of Vietnam.
The four ride days include 17 designated climb segments. Some riders aim to simply complete these segments and the overall four stages, others will ride the segments to challenge themselves to get their best time. How you ride the climbs is up to you.
This ride takes out the stress of bunch road racing (this is not a race!), but leaves plenty of chance to test yourself if you want.
For the majority of the ride, we roll together, enjoying the landscapes and the good company.
In short, if you want to ride big days in the Frontier Zones, we welcome you to The Northern Frontier
When the landscapes look like youโre cycling through a painting.
This is the very first climb right out the gates on our annual Northern Frontier ride. Booking for 2024 opens soon with early bird prices.

Cheers!
