If riding is a great part of your life, and you ride your bike regularly with friends and like to be challenged and to surpass obstacles or just ride smoothly in a peloton, these bike tours where built for you. In these itineraries, you will get to feel different riding experiences, from tougher climbs to rolling along in great company. You’ll have time to enjoy the great landscapes, gain speed in the descents and also push yourself and climb those tough hills. You’ll enjoy the variety of terrain, riding in a peloton and pushing a little harder just before the stop at the local cafe!
Where to start? I tagged along with my friends on a 6-day bike tour. We had e-bikes, although our guide, Ricardo, did not. I am not an experienced cyclist, (I am 65, but in good shape) but I absolutely loved every minute. Ricardo was patient and thorough in his preparations for each day. He led us through a variety of rides from easy to hard, but never too hard. We rode a few hours in the morning and then had beautiful accommodations to relax in the rest of the day. Ricardo also scouted out excellent 5-star accommodations as well as wonderful dining experiences each evening. These were hotels and restaurants we weren't likely to find on our own as tourists. There was no better way to see the countryside and really soak up the culture. Everywhere we went the people were kind and welcoming. Ricardo was personable, well-versed in his country's history, and did I mention he was patient? Even when one of us rode past the turn-off and he had to ride down the hill and back up again?! Live, Love, Ride is a "must-do" for anyone wanting an exciting experience and a unique way to see Spain!
We had a wonderful week on the Alentejo bike tour. The programme itself was excellent - we loved all the places we visited - the accommodation was outstanding - so unusual - and the towns and villages all so beautiful. The rides each day were great fun - challenging, but manageable, and the reward at the destination - reaching the beautiful town or seeing the magnificent view were always worth it. and lovely scenery along the way, good roads, fun coffee stops. Our guides Rodrigo and Luis were both super guys - we couldn't have asked for better - not only efficient and organised, but so friendly and always helpful and patient when dealing with any request from anyone, and just fun people to be around! They took us to lovely restaurants, different every time, and we all really enjoyed the delicious Portuguese cuisine and wine! It was a lovely week, a great experience from every angle, and the beautiful weather iin Portugal is just a bonus! Planning on doing the Douro tour next year!
