As former racers we understand the euphoric rush of pushing oneself to the physical limit from the saddle of a bike. It is from this understanding that our Elite Tours were born.

They are specifically designed for serious bicyclists. And by serious we mean bicyclists who want to ride like racers during the day, but relax like tourists at night. And who find cruising across the countryside at a 12 MPH pace so unacceptable that they are most likely to write on postcards to less gung-ho riding friends, "Glad you are not here."

Our Elite Tours offer complete flexibility of lenght and region. If you want to challenge yourseld in the French Alps, in the Pyrenees, in the Dolomites, in Provence or in Catalonia--no problem. Or if you want to pedal long distances through rolling wine country--no problem. Tour options abound, including whether you want guided or self-guided. And/or if you want a regimented "training week" for toning the legs into competitive riding shape.

We also offer Cyclosportive events as part of our Elite Tour packages. These popular events are perfect for thos who want to experience the adrenalin-surge of a real race with thousands of other international riders. Our status as an Official Tour Operator for L'Etape du Tour, La Marmotte, and the Alpes Open Tour confirms our knowledge and standing in these events.
