Cycling Holidays
Cycling adventure holidays are a great way to really get to know a country, its sights and its people. In addition, it's the ideal way to stay fit while sampling the tasty cuisine at the various towns you visit!
If the idea of cycling adventure travel excites you, you're in luck as there are countless regions that are perfect for this. Some of the best destinations for cycling include the Bourgogne (Burgundy) or Loire Valley regions in France, the Aegean Coast around Greece, Morocco's south, Andalucía in Spain, the UK, Venice or the Veneto region in Italy, IndoChina, or Cuba.
Most cycling adventure tours provide graded rides, from very relaxing to extremely challenging. Tours can be organised for small groups and provide a backup vehicle and support crew. Your adventure trips can be arranged so you don't have to worry about anything – from the bike to accommodation, food and entry fees to attractions and sights along the way.
If a cycling adventure trip of several days is what you are after, then look no further than the tours through the Loire Valley region of France. This area is known as the Vins de Touraine and is ideal for the cyclist who is after an undemanding ride. Along your journey you will see fine buildings and chateaus, charming villages and wonderful vineyards. You can also sample the local wines of France, as the wineries are more than happy for you to visit. Explore towns such as Amboise, Montrichard and Blois. Stop at the Chateaux de Fougeres or Cheverny, or visit the Clos Luce, the last home of Leonardo da Vinci.
Vietnam is a country where hospitality is second nature, and what better way to learn about a country than to experience it on a bicycle? By cycling in a small tour group, you can explore this stunning country in a safer environment and be lead by experienced guides who know the area well. Experience the changing landscape, from palm fringed beaches to spectacular mountains, and country roads that lead to ever awe–inspiring highlights. See coffee plantations and National Parks; visit the hill station of Dalat and explore Nha Trang, or visit the Cu Chi tunnels. Taste the variety of local foods, from roadside stalls to French cuisine.
If you don't fancy the idea of several days cycling around the countryside, a shorter bicycle trip may suit you. For example, you could combine your holiday in the breath-taking Tasmanian wilderness with a cycling day–trip such as the Pedal n Paddle. This fun–filled trip involves a van trip from your hotel to the summit of Mount Wellington, a brisk, casual bike ride down to the waterfront of Hobart, followed by a kayak paddle around Battery Point and Constitution Dock.
Cycling holidays can suit all ages and fitness levels; they can be refreshing and relaxing, or you can choose a more challenging experience. One thing is for certain – cycling holidays are sure to be an exciting adventure experience you will remember for a lifetime.
