VIBE Values
VIBE Tours is all about journeying with a purpose — fun rides in stunning places that expand your mind. Three core values drive our mission to provide a cycling travel experience you’ll never forget.
1. Ride
The bike takes you places. It amplifies you. It sparks that childlike joy. The notifications are off, and the race is on! As Eddy Merckx said, “Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.” Be consistent, yes. Get stronger. Just don’t forget that love is why you do it, with a louder heart and a quieter mind. Each hill is a question. Deep in your legs are the answers.
2. Explore
Travel is the ultimate reboot. It upgrades your soul with new foods and unfamiliar streets. You mispronounce things, get lost, adapt. Out of your comfort zone, growth begins. You walk through ancient places, yet feel present. What you’re exploring is yourself. You can check “new perspective” off your bucket list.
3. Vibe
Each week with VIBE Tours is all about connection. Shared challenges and unique adventures forge new friends, and deepen links with old ones. They open you up in unexpected ways. Whether it’s helping someone fix a flat or hearing new music together, you get on the same wavelength. The bike is the excuse, the VIBE is the goal.

FROM Founder STEVE DORST
When I couldn’t find the perfect cycling trip, I created it. I started by leading friends to Spain, and have been going back ever since. VIBE Tours is how I share that joy with new friends around the world.
My background is in documentary film production. Hosting cycling adventures is similar — demanding to organize, but exhilarating. Like filmmaking, cycling requires your full immersion. On a descent you can’t multitask: you’re focused, free, in the flow.
Our motto is “RIDE. EXPLORE. VIBE.” That means unforgettable days on the bike powered by a spirit of discovery. You can expect local cuisine, hidden village squares, music, mountaintop views — and even cycling champions dropping in for a ride.
It all adds up to a singular vibe only a passionate boutique company can deliver. Come see for yourself!
Our SOUNDTRACK
This is our playlist for work days and workouts, to get us in the mood for a spin in Spain. It’s a mix of modern Latin pop, classic flamenco, and other good vibes. Send us your suggestions! We love to expand our musical minds.
