Dreaming of a cycling trip? You can expect to hear this:
Performance Riders
"How can we take a cycling vacation with our spouses without them getting annoyed? The rides we'll want to do are probably too long, too fast and too hilly." |
Recreational Riders
"How can we go on a cycling vacation with our spouses without them getting annoyed? The rides we'll want to do are short and flat, and we'll want to stop to see the sights, and take lots of pictures." |
Non-Riders
"How can we join in the fun without getting on a bike? We'd rather explore town, go for a hike, hang by the pool, visit the local market, and meet up for the wine tasting before our chef comes in?!" |
Most organized bike trips are either too tough or too slack for most couples to enjoy together.
Road biking has boomed in popularity in the last ten years. Whether you are a high performance triathlete or a round-the-block Sunday pedaler, a week cycling in Europe should definitely be on your bucket list. But a 25 mile recreational cyclist is not going to feel welcome on a TransAlp expedition or a serious Majorca training camp. A strong cyclist, who wants to get in 80+miles each day, is not going to be satisfied with a cushy, slow-paced hotel bike trip. If you do find a trip, their fixed dates don't work for your private group's schedule.
A customized Ensemble Cycling Stay works for riders of all skill levels.
On a typical day, the keener group
can take off early for a brisk 100 miles (chosen from our Ride Guide of
routes). Non-cyclists might visit the local market, hike or hang by the
pool with a book and coffee. The "Cappuccino" pace group can do a
leisurely 30 miles, with café breaks and maybe a market visit. Then you
can all rendezvous for, say, a picnic lunch we've organized at a local
vineyard. And in the afternoon, you can all put the bikes aside and join
your "Local Host" on your custom itinerary of markets, historic sites,
wine tasting, and our favourite restaurants
