 The Vans
   
We have thought carefully about your comfort and pleasure when being transferred, and our customised vans are made for the job. As the guided tours are fully supported, the van is an integral part of the trip.
     
    Cycling Country support van
     
   

The van will be out on the road everyday, sweeping the route, offering supplies and refreshments. If you don't like the look of the next hill or have just had enough for the day, jump in the van and watch the countryside whirl past from a relaxed, airconditioned setting.

It is possible for those non-cycling partners or friends to come along and ride in the van each day.

Each van is equipped to carry your luggage, bicycles, spares and of course you, giving you the abililty to travel in style and luxury when necessary. Although this is a cycling holiday, we have not forgotten about those times when a transfer is unavoidable.
 
     

We're included in the cycle holidays section on the travel-quest adventure holidays site which includes mountain biking trips, cycling vacations and holidays and tandem trips and tours
