      Many cyclists want to get away and ride but then...what happens to the children? the non cycling spouse?  the answer is JAMAICA VIBZ ride.  This ride is the perferct combination of a resort vacation with morning rides that leave the  entire afternoon free to share with family and explore or  relax in the  hotel.  


      The All Inclusive Jamaica Vibz ride  is operated by the 36 year old company Holiday Services Ltd, a covid certified and licensed tour operator.


      The ride is now part of an all-inclusive vacation package. This way cyclists can come with their families and spouses, go off their their morning ride whilst their families relax in the resort and the cyclist can rejoin them by lunchtime. Its the perfect combination.


      The Jamaica Vibz Ride is based out of OCHO RIOS.
      Families are welcomed.  We have special plans for non cyclists and cycling lessons too

      for the children and adults who might want to learn to ride or to  be a better cyclist!


      What is so very unique about ALL our rides is the fact that  NO ONE IS EVER ALONE ON THE ROAD BY THEMSELVES ! Ever!  the customary  printed  " route guides" are not needed here  because you are always escorted. THe ride caters to ALL pace levels! Usually we have 1-2 groups, each with its own sag.  We are also offering  training after the ride in the afternoons so  that Dad can return  and go with  his spouse or his child and they can all participate together. Or of course, non cyclists can also just relax in the  resort.   

      This is a concierge service tour with local experienced and pro cyclists participating as tour leaders, so they assist cyclists over challenging hills so everyone can achieve their goals., regardless of their pace level.  


      Our stops are well planned so as to ensure everyone experiences the  real Jamaica: we will have a rest stop at a farmer's market, have a  visit with local school children and you have the option to climb a  cascading 600ft waterfall! 


      The Jamaican people are warm and genuinely  friendly.  You'll get to meet them up close and in their real world!


      There is time in the afternoons to meet up with fellow cyclists,  spouses and friends to explore the island's beaches, restaurants and  attractions or to take in a massage or visit a spa.



      So come on, let's ride!

      Let us show you why Jamaica is truly the "heartbeat" of the Caribbean

      Cycle Jamaica has left an indelible mark on our hearts, creating an experience that transcends the ordinary and transforms it into the extraordinary. Our recent cycling adventure with the youth was nothing short of life-changing, and we owe it all to the incredible team at Cycle Jamaica for orchestrating a truly unforgettable journey. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire trip. The hosts at Cycle Jamaica went above and beyond to make us feel not just welcome but cherished, like long-lost family returning for a joyous reunion. Their genuine smiles and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, and it was evident that they were dedicated to ensuring our time with them was nothing short of exceptional. MUCH LOVE, CREATE "Together We Rise" Family

      Dear Cycle Jamaica Team, I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience during the Cycle Jamaica Classic at Bahia Principe from November 30th to December 4th, 2023. The ride was absolutely breathtaking, and it wouldn't have been the same without your exceptional leadership. Mary, Storm, Coach, Bradley, Alex, and Mark, your dedication and guidance throughout the journey were beyond amazing. Your passion and expertise truly made the event unforgettable. Every moment was filled with beauty and excitement, thanks to your outstanding efforts. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a fantastic event. Your commitment to making this ride exceptional shines through in every aspect. Thank you for creating such a remarkable experience that I'll cherish forever.

      It was a fantastic experience! Well organized, I felt extremely safe with the police officers, SAG, and ambulance! The hotel was beautiful! My wife, who is a non-rider, loved the experience also. I did the fast ride, so she rode in the SAG van with South. She enjoyed the rest stop entertainment and food. The coconut milk on the last day was a nice touch. I expect to be back with Team Flow in 2024. Going forward, my team needs to better communicate to our spouses that this vacation is not just for cyclists and emphasize that non-riders will have a great time at the all-inclusive resort and excursions. I think a lot of our riders didn’t come because their spouse didn’t want to attend a “cycling” vacation.

      This activity was undoubtedly one of the highlight adventures of my life. The event was well organized and impeccably executed. Storm and her team pulled out all the stops to ensure that everyone felt welcomed, included and safe. The police escort helped to ease any anxiety about riding on public thoroughfare. The guides were helpful, and polite and not only helped pushed folks who needed a little extra help along over the hills but also provided useful guidance on gear changing etc. The rest stop entertainment was freshening and amazing. Fellow cyclists were friendly and super cool. I cant wait to do this again.
