Cycling holidays in South West France

Cycling and walking holidays can be a fantastic alternative to your traditional vacation plans.
Ray Parker of french cycling adventures has been riding routes and  tours in the UK and France for
many years and now specialises in flexible cycling holidays in the South West of France and in
particular the department of the Gers and other adjoining departments, to include runs into the
'col's of the Pyrenees for all sportive riders, plus trips to the Atlantic coast and Bordeaux region
for those wine lovers.

There are a wide range of cycling and walking holidays available to choose from including rugged
mountain treks, tours of beautiful coast line and to the best the countryside has to offer.   The choice
available is not just about scenery but also physical difficulty.   Whatever your level of fitness, there is
a holiday that is right for you, and with french cycling adventures for example they can customize your tour to suit your individual and specific needs.

Hotels are very important after a day riding over hill and dale. Curling up in a nice warm bed after
day in the saddle is a feeling that can't be beat.  Taking a hot shower or bath each night to wash away the
days exertions  and being protected from the weather is usually worth the money.  Alternatively, of course
a luxury stay in a farmhouse or chateaux is wonderful, but you will need a dozen or more bikers together
to book this style of holiday, and certainly the freedom this type of holiday gives  you to explore and do your 'own thing' is brilliant.

A lot of cyclists prefer to bring their own bikes as they naturally plan to spend a lot of time in the saddle.
If you are set in your ways with regard to how you must have your bike set up, then the unknown of a bike
hire may be a risk you don't want to take.  Having said this,  with a choice of bikes, full carbon, alu frame
road bikes or hybrid cycles all of good quality and normally quite new with low mileages on the clock are
certainly available with frenchcyclingadventures.   Many are renewed each year/season, and maintained for
everyones convenience and comfort and sized to fit.

The Shimano derailleur road bikes and hybrid versions are fine for road tours.  Purist road racers may want
a lighter bicycle, so the trick is to certainly to choose what is right for you. In many cases hiring may be the best value for a holiday experience, as it can be a little difficult to bring your own bikes-although CYCLING
CLUBS may well be set up to transport there members bike almost anywhere.

Modern bikes are generally easy to maintain.  French cycling (32) adventures will maintain your bike and
generally look after you and your bike during your holiday.   A kit will be issued at the start of the holiday
to include spare inner tube and other  goodies.   The proprietors are always on hand to assist, and will
simply come and find you if you have a problem.. With a larger problem ( seldom arises ) they will simply
swap out the bike for another.
