Budget Cycling Holidays

tober

Can anyone recommend a budget guided cycling holiday provider, preferably somewhere in southern Europe.

I've done a web search on a few companies but most appear rather dear. I'm looking for something "no frills", perhaps utilising hostels instead of hotels.

[Considering just organising it independently but just wish to scope out some of the options open first]

C.T.C. (Cyclist Touring Club) probaly provides the widest range of bike hols.
otherwise D.I.Y. with present low cost flights is the alternative if your on a budget.

Try www.velopeloton.com with a ryanair flight you can get a week for about €600

Right now, if I had the time and the money, I'd decamp to the Canaries till March.

Unfortunately I have to go to Hawaii & San Diego in March. I will train where Lancey did

Will be watching this tonight! Might actually convince the OH to come cycling - again - the first time wasn't a pleasant experience for her

Excellent, I think there is availability with the bike people from 7-20th March, we were planning on a week, flying to Malaga. I'm completely flexible as to exactly when.

I'll consult with the folks at my work and see what the schedule is like.

Oooh, don't suppose I could also express interest. Don't worry, I am getting better, won't hold anyone up.

Absolutely, the more the merrier.
