About Cadence Cycle Tours
discover Portugal on two wheels
Dedicated to providing you with the ultimate cycling adventure, whether you are a seasoned cyclist or just starting out.
At Cadence Cycle Tours, we believe that a road cycling holiday should be an experience that allows you to have choices, and that’s why we have designed our tours to provide you with not only an amazing cycling experience, in Portugal’s picturesque geography, but also the flexibility to enjoy the local culture and attractions. We pride ourselves on operating tours a bit differently and find that maintaining small groups of as few as 2 guests based out of one or two primary towns (depending on your tour selection) saves you from a forced march experience. Having cycled with tours that change locations each day, we found living out of our suitcases to be somewhat exhausting and believe that allowing you to settle into your hotel, and feel fresh each day, gives you the opportunity to truly familiarize yourself with the region and experience Portugal’s Algarve to the fullest.
Meet your guides
Father/son duo Warren and Cameron have shared a passion for athletics, travel and the desire for lifelong learning that has fostered their close relationship since Cameron’s childhood. Cameron’s passion for mountain biking was supported by his father in trips to the Canadian Rockies and marked the beginning of their journey as cyclists, which has resulted in the development of their lifelong friendship and partnership. Warren, following a friend’s invitation for a European road cycling trip, was captivated by the tests of endurance, the scenery and the cultural experiences that road cycling in Europe had to offer. Road cycling quickly turned into a passion he wished to share with his son and with some degree of coercion Warren inspired Cameron’s appreciation for the pleasures of endurance cycling. Over the years they have had the great fortune to regularly cycle together in their home of Edmonton Canada as well as in various locations around North America and Europe. During the summer months, Warren had mentored his son in the operation of his small family concrete business. Through his experience in customer service, organization and business operation he helped foster their relationship as partners that, combined with their passion for road cycling, inspired them to embark on a new journey. Following a fantastic cycling trip to Portugal, the duo felt this unique and underappreciated cycling destination would be perfect for creating memorable cycling holidays for others as well. It was through these years of shared experiences that the vision of Cadence Cycle Tours came to be.
