A Riding day
A day always begins with a hearty European style breakfast. Detailed route descriptions, sightseeing suggestions and a map are provided for the Portugal, Spain and Tuscany trips. On all other trips you can ride with a guide on a bicycle or opt to ride independently, with road descriptions. Short rest stops or refreshment breaks can be taken as frequently as the terrain requires, with time taken to enjoy the sights along the way. The support van carries fruit, light snacks, water and drinks and meets the riders at various points along the way. Lunch is a casual affair and often you can explore a little on your own, shop, or visit an interesting bakery or café. On some days a scenic spot is chosen for a delicious picnic lunch which is provided by us.
Each day's itinerary is carefully planned to take advantage of special attractions of the region - it might be a tour of a castle, unusual local industry such as a crystal factory, or a site of historical significance. The day is always arranged so that we reach our hotel for the evening in time for a short rest and dinner. And wherever bikers ride, the support van driver is not far behind, always ready to help.
Dinner usually features the regional culinary specialties, and is a time to relax and enjoy the camaraderie of newly made friends while reliving the adventures of the day. After a good night's rest in our comfortable hotel, we're ready for a new day and new adventure.
