Holiday Highlights

Come and explore the quiet back roads and varied landscapes of Occitanie on this relaxed women-only road cycling holiday. We ride a varied distance every day but the emphasis is on social riding, exploring the local area, enjoying the views - and a cafe stop or two, of course! Photograph taking is encouraged and the moto is "no-one left behind!" One for wild swimmers, we also try to make the most of opportunities to cool off by passing local swim spots on most of our rides. Relax by the pool on your return and enjoy a well-earned meal with wine*.
