Our Holidays Reviewed By You

“ESC organized an incredible trip. Everything about this trip was epic. ESC found an amazing villa a short walk to town and got us a chef to prepare daily breakfasts. The routes were perfect, and our guide, Josep, was a pleasure to be with. Riding both road and gravel gave us a chance to check out a few different bikes from their huge rental fleet look forward to our next trip!”
“Endless views, tour worthy climbs, and practically private backroads, Eat Sleep Cycle’s “Mountains of Catalunya” was a trip to remember. The routes were top tier, only outdone by the accommodations, including a castle and a mountain top retreat with panoramic views. Five stars, highly recommended.”
“Over the past 6 years, I’ve done 9 different cycling tours with Eat Sleep Cycle – in Spain, France and Italy. I keep coming back for the combination of excellent service and support, fantastic routes, and great choices of accommodations and dining! The best tours of any company I’ve worked with over the past 15 years!”
“I completed the Trans Dolomites tour with Eat Sleep Cycle. The tour was excellent, very well organized and the team were incredibly deidicated and passionate. Thank  you Eat Sleep Cycel for one of the most exhilirating weeks of my life! Highly recommended!””
“I’ve been on lots of cycling trips but ESC are absolutely the most accommodating organisers I’ve ever had the pleasure of touring a place on a bike with. They are the best! I highly recommend them.””
“I was blown away by Girona. Everyone at Eat Sleep Cycle was fabulous. Mike was awesome, so helpful and had time to chat about rides and the best places to go. After a long bike ride, the cold beer or two went down very well. The food and the coffee in the cafe were perfect, very good quality. We are all looking forward to going back. I also hired a great bike, Basso, amazing!!””
“In summary I cannot say enough about this company and about their people – this trip was incredible. The value was excellent also.

Thank you so much Eat Sleep Cycle!””
“Eat Sleep Cycle were great. Nothing was too much trouble, our itinerary was spot on and was tweaked on the fly according to our wishes and how the group was traveling.

“Gravel Riding in Girona and Calpe Ride Camp. Simply the best!. Best guides. Best rides. Best routes. It would be difficult to make this a better experience. Highly recommended.””
“The team at Málaga Hub is incredibly friendly and professional and they have everything you could possibly need for a ride, whether you’re into MTB, road cycling or just cruising around the city. What I love most is their weekend group rides. It’s such a great way to connect with fellow cycling enthusiasts and explore different routes around Malaga. I usually rent one of their Basso road bikes and they’re an absolute joy to ride. Just recently I had the chance to try out the DT Swiss wheels during one…”

“There are a lot of great bike shops in Girona, but this one is among the best. All of the staff — from the shop, to the rental desk, to the cafe, and even those I cycled passed on the ESC tours van — are super warm and friendly. All of the ESC folks seemed interested in conversing and connecting with me, and not just because I was a customer. That genuine culture is awesome to have in a company. (The shop was always slammed by the way, as they…”

GUIDE

David

After more than 20 years working in Formula One, David swapped the high-pressure world of motorsport for life in the French Alps. He moved to France to embrace a more relaxed lifestyle and spend more time exploring the mountains by road and trail.

A keen road and former mountain bike racer, David has been guiding since 2008 and loves sharing his favourite routes, local knowledge and passion for great food and wine. Alongside his wife, Susan, he enjoys creating relaxed, memorable cycling holidays where guests feel welcome from day one. Thanks to his engineering expertise, he’s also always happy to make sure your bike is running as smoothly at the end of the day as it was at the beginning.

GUIDE

Susan

Originally from Canada, Susan has called France home for many years after meeting her husband on a cycling holiday. A passionate recreational cyclist, she loves sharing quiet roads, beautiful scenery and local culture with guests. Chatty, welcoming and endlessly enthusiastic, Susan is happiest when everyone is enjoying the ride—whether that’s discovering a hidden village, stopping for coffee, or celebrating the day’s adventure with a delicious meal and, of course, a well-earned glass of rosé.
