Your memorable moments
There may be some walking involved for all guests. We make every effort to get you close to the starts, finishes, climbs and feed-zones. However, the immediate vicinity is difficult to access with road closures. Please have comfortable shoes and you need to have a very basic level of fitness.

The majority of our trips cater for cyclists and non-cyclists, offering a diversity between riding, seeing the race and experiencing the food and culture of the destinations we visit.
Most of our trips also cater for non-riders (as well as cyclists), and we have some spectator only trips. Please search for our spectator only trips here.
Your guides may adjust the intensity of your ride to ensure you have more than enough riding. Remember, we often follow the climbing routes so vertical metres is often a better measure than the miles in the saddle.
We often incorporate an easier day in the itinerary to serve as recovery for the bigger days during the back end of the tour.
You'll be able to discuss options each day with your van driver and trip leader, as some guests like to incorporate some longer walks and others prefer more time in the villages
Your guides may adjust the intensity of your ride to ensure you have more than enough riding. Remember, we often find follow the climbing routes. Like the Grand Tours, we find the higher intensity, short stages can be just as challenging as a long day in the saddle.
You may like to have some days off the bike or easier days and save your legs for the day that you conquer a bucket list climb
