The European Summer is nearly upon us.
Plan your 2004 cycling holidays now!

We are a small and friendly company that offers cycling holidays in Europe. The level of challenge in our rides varies. We start from a modestly, gentle roll around beautiful Burgundy. We progress on to a more challenging trip from Bordeaux to the Alps and then on to our tough Pyrenees ride.

Our Burgundy ride can accommodate riders who enjoy cycling either around 60kms or 80kms per day. Our other rides are best suited to riders who enjoy the challenge of cycling closer to 100kms per day. We carry your luggage and leave you to navigate between our overnight stops by following our detailed route notes and maps. There's a bike mechanic on the trip and a support vehicle patrols the route in case you have any difficulties. The holidays are relaxed and fun and suitable for cyclists of different paces!

ENJOY THE MANY DELIGHTS OF BURGUNDY:
If you only have a week to spare for a cycling holiday OR you want to try a cycling holiday without wanting to sign-up for two weeks of long distances then THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU!

Our Burgundy Bike Ride has two routes each day. A 50km (30 mile) route or a hillier more challenging 80kms (50 miles). Burgundy is HILLY but with two daily distances the aim is to make this a mixed ability holiday.

Regardless of which route you choose to ride, there's always great scenery and great food in this beautiful, historic and gourmet region of France. Our rest day in Beaune puts you in a perfect place to recover, relax and to go wine tasting.
