In the Price.
All of It.

Every lunch and supper

Booked ahead at family tables, with a vegetarian plate on request. Coffee stops are on us too.

Bags moved to the next town

Leave your bag at the door after breakfast. It is in your room before you are.

Bike fitted before day one

Tell us your height when you book. A ride leader sets the saddle and bars with you before the first roll-out.

Two ride leaders and a van

Your ride leader rides at the front and a second leader at the back. The van carries spares and water, and any rider who has had enough.

Small family stays every night

Guesthouses and farm stays with a handful of rooms, chosen as much for breakfast as for the beds.

Water, fruit and pastry on the bike

The van tops up bottles and hands out fruit between stops, so nobody rides into lunch empty.
