Bikes We supply you with a high quality touring bike with suspension seat post - for an extra comfortable ride - and 27 gears to make things as easy as possible.  We spend time on your first day making sure you are allocated a bike that fits you well - we have a choice of sizes and saddles - so that you will be comfortable throughout your stay.  We suggest places to stop along the route – for sight-seeing, a refreshing drink and lunch.

Tours We have mapped a series of tours designed to let you get close to the real France by exploring lovely local countryside, pretty, sleepy villages and the breathtaking, winding Lot river valley. We give you extremely detailed maps and guidelines so that you can easily follow the routes.  Our tours take in interesting historic sites and visits to some of the nearby pretty bastide towns with their panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The Lot River itself winds gently back and forth like a serpentine, and so gives cyclists a variety of excellent vistas as you meander along its banks.
 Each day we offer a round trip of between 20 and 35 miles (35 -60 kilometers) or about 5 hours leisurely cycling each day. You will almost always be riding along quiet, virtually traffic-free roads and the terrain is mostly gently undulating with a few more challenging climbs here and there.  Easier and harder options are included on each route so that you can select according to your level of cycling ability. |
