Our road cycling tours are designed for cyclists who appreciate the joy of a smooth tarmac stretching into the sunset.
We have different options for riders new to road cycling and for hardcore roadies who love the challenge of an HC (Hors catégorie) climb. Riders can choose from our self-guided options or choose to join a group tour.
Road cycling is a wonderful way to disconnect and lose yourself in the rhythm of the ride.
We offer both group road bike tours, self-guided road cycling tours and of course custom road tours too. Stay in handpicked accommodations along the route - we work with small boutique hotels which offer outstanding hospitality and offer a unique perspective on the region.
ESC organized an incredible trip of riding the epic climbs outside Girona. This was our 4th trip with ESC, having completed the Trans Pyrenees, French Alps, and Dolomites previously. 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. I look forward to our next trip!
High-end road bike rental is available on all our trips and is included in our group tours.
When you join an Eat Sleep Cycle road cycling holiday expect fantastic routes, quality accommodation and great support from the team. We have a wide range of road cycling trips to choose from.
