• Front Group – 319km and 10,000m of climbing in 3 days
• Main Bunch – 235km and 7550m of climbing in 3 days

Four days set in the spa town of Bormio with daily rides including both sides of the Stelvio, the mighty Mortirolo and stunning Gavia. With two fully supported route options each day, this is suitable for riders of all abilities with a love for the mountains.

This is one of the great cycling weekends for climbers. Over 5 days you climb the Stelvio (from both sides), the Gavia & Mortirolo as well as some great local routes that many people find to be their best climb of the trip. Each of the three main riding days are tough with two or three climbs per day and over 3,000m of elevation, but the payoff is riding in a varied and stunning part of the world and ticking off some proper bucket list climbs. Bormio is the perfect town to relax after a ride with some nice ice cream shops, markets and hot springs. Bring strong legs and a big rear cassette for the ultimate Stelvio cycling holiday!

Four days in climbing wonderland. If you only ever go on one cycling break, make sure it's to the Dolomites. Classic climbs, unbelievable scenery & great food. It does not get better!

The Dolomites is a special place in the cycling world. Ask anyone that's been and they will rave about the incredible scenery, warm hospitality and amazing climbs (and descents!). On this trip we spend 4 nights in Corvara. On the rides we take in the classic climbs of the region including the Passo Giau, Sella Ronda and some local routes off the beaten path. The routes for the main bunch are challenging but suitable for most regular riders, the front group routes are more suited to experienced climbers. Corvara is the perfect setting for post ride r&r. Our hotel has a spa and sports massage and the terrace out front is made for a couple of beers as the sun goes down over the mountains.

Italy Coast to Coast Weekender - Wed 21st - Sun 25th Sep - £699pp

One Group – 341km and 6665m of climbing in 3 days

Is there a better long weekend of riding than this? Starting on the beach in Cattolica on the Adriatic, we ride east into the heart of Emilia Romagna taking in some of the climbs of the Nove Colli before heading to Tuscany with some gravel roads, rolling hills and sleepy hilltop villages. We finish on Saturday evening on the Tuscan coast in time to watch the sunset with a glass of prosecco. A perfect long weekend of riding.

Our Italy Coast to Coast Tour is a 4 night break riding from the sandy beaches of Emilia Romagna to the Tuscan Coast across Italy's stunning interior. This small group raid is led by our expert guides & support vehicles. We all ride together on the flats and at our own pace on the climbs. Afternoons are spent relaxing with a couple of beers and some amazing local food.

We move around each night on our Italy Coast to Coast. Starting on the Adriatic coast in Cattolica, our hotel is a family run 4* hotel with excellent food. Moving onto the spa town of Bagno di Romagna our hotel has a great wellness area and even better food. Into Tuscany we stay out in the hills before the last evening on the coast. A mix of 3 & 4* hotels seeing the best of this part of Italy.

• Main Bunch – 262km and 5463m of climbing in 3 days

The beautiful region Provence in Southern France has always been a hotbed for cyclists with the barren, wild and exposed summit of Mt Ventoux held as its centrepiece. Although the slopes of the much-fabled Mont Ventoux take the majority of the headlines for cycling enthusiasts when visiting the area, the surrounding quiet rolling roads amongst the region's famous lavender fields should equally leave you with lasting memories from your weekend in Provence. This 4 night trip is ridden at a more relaxed pace where the quality of the company and croissants are more important than KOM hunting but the real die-hards also get the opportunity to join the prestigious 'Club des Cingles du Mont Ventoux' by climbing this notorious mountain by the three main routes from Bedoin, Malaucéne and Sault - That’s a whopping 4,500m of joyous climbing!
