Ensemble Cycling

There's a problem with most cycling vacations: they cannot be shared by cyclists of different skill levels. Hard core training camps and Etape du Tour events are too tough for someone wanting to just do a leisurely 30 miles a day. But a strong 100 mile-a-day cyclist will find the pace of traditional luxury hotel-to-hotel bike trips too slow and their organization too routine. There is a solution, Ensemble Cycling. www.ensemblecycling.com An Ensemble Cycling vacation is the perfect cycling solution for a group of friends or family who might have different levels of cycling ability (including None at All). A group of cycling friends -- 3, 4, 5 couples or more (we have villas up to 15 bedrooms and bathrooms) -- can pick a convenient week, choose from a variety of regions with great cycling, and then, based in a boutique hotel-standard private villa, can set their own schedule, their own pace. Our villas are located in some of the worlds best cycling areas in France, Spain and Italy. Our cycling stays are fully customizable - you can add guides, masseurs, van support, excellent rental bikes, at-home chefs, prepared lunches... you name it.
