"This trip transformed me from an occasional weekend
rider to an international cycling adventurer
and the only change was the location!"
"I never thought I would be bicycling in France!"
"The major decisions of the day were at which beautiful place to stop
for our picnic lunch and which vineyard to stop for a wine tasting.
ahhhhhh."
"We rode when we wanted, stopped when we wanted our
only deadline was dinner at 8!"
If you are checking out this page, I'm guessing you are curious enough to
find out if this type of adventure travel is right for you. I
hope the above comments have added to that curiosity.
If you think that
bicycling in Europe is a romantic dream, it need not be a dream
anymore. We are ordinary
people who have cycled from town to town in Burgundys
beautiful and historic countryside. Many of us worried about
bicycling in a foreign country: Where will we stay? Will we be
comfortable with the group? Can we make it physically? Can we afford
it? Once the obstacles are removed, and they will be, this can be the adventure of a
lifetime.
So are you the right kind
of person for this kind of trip? I had fun, recently,
trying to figure who these trips are for.
You will be in good
company on this trip if:
-
You
don't own much in the way of bike clothing.
-
You
don't have a road bike, but if you do, it's at least 15 years old.
-
You have a
sense of adventure, but extreme is not on your radar screen.
-
You toured
many years ago and still remember the thrill.
-
You are 35
years old - and up
-
You are a
single or a couple and you enjoy getting to know new people.
-
You are an
empty nester looking to spread your wings.
-
You enjoy
eating good food, drinking great wine and socializing as much as cycling.
What
I will do for you:
-
I will
make sure that you have "extra-ordinary" places to stay and eat,
bikes suited to your needs and highlighted maps and routes.
-
I will put you
together with people like yourself. And I'll assist you in
getting to know each other so that by the time you depart for France, you will not be traveling
with strangers.
-
I will be
available every step of the way - from helping with
transportation arrangements to answering your questions and addressing your
concerns.
What you
will do:
-
You will leave your daily
world behind
-
You
will embrace
the excitement of every new
experience
-
You will
bask in the warmth
of a new culture
-
You will trust and support your fellow riders
-
You will return a richer person
