Cycling holidays are ever popular with travellers
As the nation gets set to go ‘Wiggo’ tastic … cheering on our Tour de France hero Bradley Wiggins in today's Olympic individual road cycling, The Healthy Holiday Company has chosen its top three breaks for cycling fans.
Four night road biking trip - Majorca
First up – why not try out a four night break at Reads hotel on the beautiful island of Majorca, perfectly situated for cycling in the Tramuntana Mountain range and also for less demanding flatter country rides. You will be kitted out with the very best carbon road bikes and a special cycling map of the island. The holiday is priced from £1,165 per person based on two adults sharing and includes return flights, four nights accommodation, breakfast and dinner each day, as well as one full day of private guiding with a local biking expert and three days of self-guided cycling with all cycling equipment provided, as well as three relaxing massages.
Around the Cape – South Africa
Experience the stunning mountain passes of South Africa’s beautiful Cape region as well as breathtaking coastal rides with an expert guide. This five day (four night) cycle adventure is based in Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands at a luxury guesthouse. During your four days in the saddle you are likely to cover between 100km and 150km per day depending on your fitness, accompanied by a professional rider to guide and support you. An easier itinerary can be arranged for less experienced riders. The holiday is priced from just £795 per person based on two sharing and includes all accommodation, the local guide, cycle hire and transfers and can form part of a longer stay on the Cape.
There’s also a seven night option available which includes two days guided biking in and around Cape Town staying at 5 star accommodation, then transferring to the Winelands for four days itinerary. This longer option is priced from £2295 per person including seven nights accommodation, 6 days guided biking, airport transfers, bike hire and international flights from London.
7 passes in 7 days - Italian Dolomites
Fancy something more demanding? Cycle over breathtaking Dolomite mountain passes whilst experiencing Italian, German and Ladin cultures and exceptional cuisine. This week long holiday starts and finishes from Cortina d’Ampezzo and is priced from £1960 per person based on a group of 6 travelling (departures flexible). This includes all hotel accommodation, most meals, biking guide, road bike hire and local transportation. Each day you will tackle a different area of the mountains and the difficulty will be adapted to the experience of the group. Enjoy hairpin turns, testing ascents and exhilarating descents, all the time under the safe watch of your professional guide.
