Tandems are welcome
on any of our trips, yet we have designed these tours which we consider to be
especially attractive for tandem teams.
In France, we'll be cycling the hills and
valleys adjacent to the Rhone
Valley in our epic journey from Geneva to Nice.
Due to the popularity of our
French
Alps tour for single bikes, we offer a 'petite' version, which
will challenge but not overwhelm the strong, experienced tandem team. 
Provence and
Dordogne in the
South of France are the settings for two leisurely but comprehensive
tours in these regions steeped in history and tantalizing with cultural
and culinary delights.
Corsica
is a constant scenic
extravaganza, alternating from beautiful Mediterranean beaches to cliffside
roads to mountain passes, Great views are complimented by small winding
roads. A unique history, friendly people, great food, wonderful hotels all
combine to make this one of our best, though challenging tandem tours
Riding west from Vienna, our
Austria Lakes Valleys & Vistas tour
explores the vineyard-covered hills, sprinkled with castles and churches
along the Danube; then we head south through the region of lakes nestled
amongst some of the most majestic mountain peaks in Europe, to Austria’s
gem of a city, Salzburg. Finally, we ride east through the alpine hills,
valleys, and gorges of the eastern Alps, returning to Vienna.
We return to
Tuscany in Italy for our annual tour, always a favorite, in this region known for its culinary and
cultural treasures.
We have chosen these venues because of
what they offer above and beyond their spectacular natural beauty: roads
mostly ignored by motor traffic, historic ruins and sites, delightful
ancient hilltop villages, bustling street markets, friendly rustic hotels,
excellent regional cuisine. These are just some of the many cultural
enrichments to the cycling experience in these six unique trips.
The pace and rhythm of the these tours
is leisurely and relaxed; the distances are moderate, and the routes are selected for their less mountainous terrain. However,
these can still be invigorating rides, as each day there will be options
for longer, hillier routes for tandem
partners wanting a greater challenge.
