Viva Las Vegas

Am just spending my 3rd week working in Las Vegas, and thought I'd post here recommending it as a holiday for cyclists! I got a rental Pinarello with Chorus 11! the service from the shop has been outstanding, and the riding here is nothing short of stunning! I just got back from 110 miles up Mt Charleston, which is a nice little 19 mile climb before heading on up further!!! All the local cyclists are amazingly friendly, I've hooked up with people to ride with and everyone always asks if you're ok when they pass you on the road!

Riccione Bike Hotels

For many years we have gone to Majorca in April for a weeks training/holiday. Fancy something different next year has anyone been to any of the Riccione Bike Hotels at this time of year? Thanks

Brisbane in November

Hello all

I'm going on holiday with the missus in three weeks to Brisbane to stay with some friends, none of whom cycle. I was thinking of trying to hire a bike and get out and about between trips and pre-organised outings. The area I'm staying in is Wynnum West. Does anyone know somewhere I can hire a decent bike for a few days in the city and perhaps some nice routes I can get out of town to so I can go exploring? Any advise much appreciated.

Many thanks

Holiday in Mallorca

Hi,

Need advice on which area to stay in Mallorca. Looking for beach as well as access to possible road cycling adventure (I'll have to go alone or book day trip with ?, as hubby doesn't ride). We may also rent a car but someone told me bus services are cheap and well linked to the sites. Any advice about places to eat and see would also be welcomed.

Thanks! Oh, we are booking a last minute type of deal to visit in 1st or 2nd week of August for a whole 2 wks so we have time to play, relax and play again!

News just in from the training frontline

I have important news directly from the cutting edge of cycle training. Based on extensive first-hand research I can reveal that sitting next to a swimming pool in southern Spain for ten days doing very little apart from swigging tequila and eating tapas makes it quite hard to cycle anywhere when you get back home. This is particularly true if you try to cycle any faster than a gentle jogging pace, or up any sort of hill.

That's all for now - more developments as they come in.

Andalucia holiday recommendations?

Any recommendations for companies in Andalucia that operate guided training rides and are also good for non-cycling partners? Want to visit Seville and Granada as well as try to honk up the Sierras.

Lots of people do Pyrenees, a fair few do Andalucia but are purely for cycling.

Ta.

Bicycle fitness holiday?

I've been asked if there is a road cycling holiday that is finess-orientated, female friendly (I guess they all are..!), which includes a guide and bike hire. Does such a thing exist? It's for people who want to improve their fitness but have a bit of a jolly at the same time!
