Join our bicycle tour operators for our 2004 bike and tandem touring season - The owner of the company is a former Masters National Champion, with 11 medals in Senior and Masters Nationals, as well as first, second and fourth place finishes at recent Burley Tandem Cycling Classics. he returns to Europe for his 12th year of leading groups of cycling enthusiasts.We are able to offer tandem and bicycle tours that go beyond the beaten track. Each itinerary is carefully crafted from personal experience to take in the best of each region.
We are a team of dedicated and experienced cycling enthusiasts who enjoy nothing better than sharing with friends an energetic ride along an outstanding route.
Our tours are designed for intermediate and experienced cyclists, with route options each day which allow for as much or little challenge as desired. While the cycling is a joy in itself, we also embrace with the same gusto the sightseeing, cafés, and pastry shops, as well as the comforts of our hotel at the end of the day.
Our tours are fully supported by our own van, driver, and mechanic. We are willing and able to handle luggage transport, bicycle problems, and weary cyclists.
Of course our able and enthusiastic selves (will be in the saddle and on the road each day of the trip.
Accommodations
A comfortable place to relax, re-fuel, and prepare for local sightseeing and for the next day's ride is as important as the cycling itself. We personally select smaller inns which reflect the charm and uniqueness of each region. We insure with each innkeeper that our needs as a cycling group are met: secure overnight storage for our bikes, and hearty breakfasts and dinners which showcase the local cuisine. These will be primarily 2-4 star hotels with each room appointed with its own bath/shower and WC.
Group Size
Our groups are limited in size to 20 riders; small enough so that we can stay in the smaller, more personable inns, yet large enough to broaden one’s circle of cycling companions.
The Fine Print
All tour routes and dates are subject to slight change pending confirmation of lodging reservations. Tour price is per person based on double occupancy. Single supplement is $500. Price includes services of the tour escorts, daily detailed route map with options and highlights, cue sheets, lodging, all breakfasts and most dinners, transport of baggage, mechanical support, sag wagon support, and transfers to and from the gateway airport.
