Classic TourSpring Warm-up Deluxe Tour
This holiday, our original format, offers the chance to spend a week relaxing at a luxury villa, whilst doing as much or as little
cycling as you like. We have over two thousand kilometers of cycling routes to choose from, as well as suggested itineraries for the week.
Unlike traditional moving on tours you don't need to get from A to B so if you don't fancy cycling one day, you don't have to. Similarly if you
want to stretch your legs a little more one day you can simply choose a more challenging ride.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and most people get together in small groups for the daily rides, some others prefer to ride alone or in pairs.
We take the après cycling as seriously as the cycling, and there is plenty to do to while those weary legs recover. From sitting by the pool to exploring the nearby villages.
On five evenings a meal will be served for you, with the emphasis on regional home cooking (and plenty of it!).
here is one suggested ("easy") itinerary: (though all days are optional)
