OVERVIEW

Established bike tour company is seeking *Bike Tour Guides* to support its
self-guided bike trips in Oregon. The role will be suited to cyclists with
guiding or strong customer service experience residing in the Portland area.
BACKGROUND

LifeCycle Adventures is a Portland-based bike tour company with ten years
of experience running self-guided bike trips in California, Oregon and
Hawaii. We are currently looking for guides for our self-guided trips in
Oregon. Our Oregon self-guided trips can be anything from 3 to 8 days and
are operated in the Willamette Valley and the Hood River/Columbia River
area.
THE WORK

The work has three main components:

1. Meeting guests in Portland, transferring them to the start of their
ride, giving them a ride briefing and setting them up with their bikes.

2. Moving luggage between accommodations as guests ride the same
route. We’re available for support for guests as requested.

3. Meeting guests at the end of their trips and transferring them back
into Portland.

All of our self-guided trips operate out of our facility in SE Portland and
guides return to Portland each night – i.e. there is no requirement for
overnight stays.

This is not a full time role, but rather it is as and when-needed based on
sold trips. As such, the guides must have the flexibility to be able to
support a part-time and unpredictable workload focused on the summer months.
REQUIREMENTS

Successful candidates will have the following characteristics:

- Excellent hosting skills with a high standard of professionalism
& customer service.

- Well organized with sharp attention to detail.

- Prior bike guiding or related experience.

- Knowledge of local history, culture, and geography.

- Enthusiastic cyclist & capable bike mechanic.

- Capable of lifting bikes and luggage.

- Clean driving record, Oregon driving license and clean
background check.

- Current First Aid/CPR Certificate.

- Reasonable availability to lead trips during peak seasons.
