[quote=Anonymous]Hi - My DH and i were lucky enough last year to do a cycling trip with Duvine and it was probably the best vacation we've ever had.  Now we are hooked and want to do more, and so would DS - who is currently 13.

Unfortunately, Duvine and the main competitors (Backroads, Butterfield) only take kids on cycling trips if you do the private option - which really raises the price. Almost double for just the three of us (compared to a group of 10+ others).

Does anyone know of a cycling tour company that takes kids?  It looks like Backroads and some others offer "family" trips - but they are very light on the cycling, and for ages 8+.  Much more hiking and very low key "family schedules".  DS is over 6 feet and high energy and can handle an intense touring schedule as well as me and DH (we've done a few intense family trips in the last couple years, and he's super easy going and always the last man standing at the end of a busy touring day).  On the flip side, i get why high end tour companies like Duvine don't welcome kids - because if i was another guest and showed up for my luxury trip and there was a 13 year old in the group of 12 people, I'd be annoyed.

Is anyone aware of trips that can accommodate teens and still do adult-style guided cycling trips?  Or something similar that fits the bill? [/quote]
