    Leave the hustle and bustle of Lisbon behind as you follow mostly flat coastal roads away from the city. Enjoy views across the Atlantic and traverse the area of outstanding beauty that is the National Park of Arrabida. The cycling remains fairly manageable as you journey through untouched Portuguese villages and start to take on a few undulations along quiet country roads. Our journey takes us up to the historic town of Silves, with its impressive castle, and you’re rewarded with an exhilarating downhill ride all the way to the Algarve coastline. Get up early to make the final push to Sagres, the furthest point of southern Europe and its windy outcrop – home to the Cabo de São Vicente Lighthouse.

    Choose to start in Prague, or skip the hills and head straight to the German border town of Passau. Wind your way through rural villages, on some of the most picturesque and quiet roads,  towards the Austrian capital of Vienna. From Vienna follow the Danube all the way into Slovakia – why not take lunch in its hill-top capital, Bratislava. Using the Danube as our compass, we make our way through the Slovakian and Hungarian countryside to our final destination – Budapest. The countries, cultures, changing landscapes and backdrop of the mighty Danube river make this a fascinating and exciting ride.

    Cycle on the same roads as the pros and take on the cobbles and climbs that make this event one of the most famous one-day classics on the circuit. Split the route into two more manageable sections, and give yourself time to take in the scenery, the local villages, see the war memorial in Bastogne, and maybe even pop over the border into Luxembourg. This is a real bucket list ride, which could easily be included in a longer itinerary, such as a battlefields tour, or continue north to Amsterdam.

    Enjoy a leisurely ride out of Milan with only 60 flat miles to ease you in.

A few climbs stand between you and the finish including the Passo del Giogo and a finish atop the stunning and picturesque medieval city of Orvieto. The final day will still be a test for the legs, but you will be rewarded with a flat and traffic-free route right into the heart of Rome.

  7. Stelvio Pass

    An epic, but most-rewarding ride. A bucket-list climb featured in many Giro d’Italia’s. This iconic climb is literally breath-taking. Warm up on Day 1 with the gentle, but constant, 3% gradient of the St Leonhard pass, where your reward is 36 miles of descent into your overnight stop in Silandro. Day 2 is the real challenge; it’s all about the Stelvio Pass – gain some serious altitude up to 2,757m and be rewarded with some spectacular views, not to mention the sense of achievement. With the hard work out of the way, enjoy a few more days cycling, either to glamorous Lake Garda, or continue to Verona and Venice, or go the other way and head towards Lake Como and Milan.
