Overview

Seven days of serious climbing above Funchal and along the island's ridges. The bike is only half of it: the other half is how good a bowl of soup tastes at 900 metres.

In the Price.

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.

Your Ride Leader

“At the first hairpin I tell every group the same thing: the soup at the top is worth it.”

Sa Leader 2
Tomas Reis
Rides at the front. A second leader rides at the back.

What Riders Said

“Every climb had a reason, and the reason was usually pastry.”

Hana K.

“I have never been so organised without doing anything.”

Owen B.

“Nobody ever once said hurry up.”
