Our Bike Tours

We took a trip stateside with Carolina Tailwinds to South Carolina on their 6 day Low Country Tour that was mostly biking with one day of kayaking thrown in for good measure! An interesting mix of Spanish moss, beautiful beaches, antebellum homes, historical plantations and the everpresent southern hospitality! After the tour we spent a few days in lovely Savannah, GA.

 We spent seven days cycling and barge cruising in the picturesque Loire River Valley region  of France well known for its great white wines, the most notable being Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. Fitted with comfortable 21 speed hybrid bikes, we cycled along quiet back roads, lightly traveled bike paths,

 We had the adventure of a lifeteme cycling on the beautiful island of Pico in the Azores, a sub-tropical paradise with breath-taking scenery, friendly people, a rich maritime tradition, fresh seafood and great local wine.  Of course, cycling on a volcanic island presented a few cycling challenges but it made the experience that much richer.

Come along with us as we explore the Azores! 

 This year we cycled from Bruges, Belgium to Amsterdam in the Netherlands on a bike barge tour with Cycletours, Holland. We sailed on "De Zwaan", a luxury class barge and had a great crew consisting of Capt. Ilja , chef and first mate, Maarten and our excellent tour guide, Jakob. We were also quite lucky to have had such amiable cycling companions for this trip. This made for a wonderful, relaxing vacation. We booked this tour through Van Gogh Tours.

 Join us in sunny Portugal, where we cycled down the coast from just south of Lisbon to Lagos, enjoying incredible seafood, beautiful weather, amazing coastlines and a great group of fellow cyclists. Our excellent tour guides, Goncalo and Nelson were the best, guiding us safely down Portugal's Blue Coast! Our 'Costa Azul' tour was provided by Easy Rider Tours!

Mayo/Sligo Ireland Bike Tour - 2001

This year, we made a visit to 'the auld sod" with Celtic Trails Bike Tours. Ireland is ruggedly beautiful, with more shades of green than you thought possible! This bike trip was not for the faint of heart but was worth every minute. A nightly stop in a local pub for a pint or two of Guinness didn't stink either!
