France with friends

We have aimed to create a fantastic trip at a very compelling price. This is not a training camp, but is intended to celebrate cycling with our friends on great cycling roads in beautiful country.

We always talk about a new bike purchase from us as being the start, and not the end, of the journey. We really do mean that, and this trip is our chance to show this.

What's Included:

Every aspect of the riding is taken care of by us, so you simply need to turn the pedals. This approach increases satisfaction and makes it more fun. This is as close to the 'pro' experience as an amateur cyclist will ever get.

• Expertly planned routes and navigation
• Daily guided rides
• Airport Transfers in France
• Transport of your bike from Bespoke London to destination (if required)
• 3 nights accommodation at Hotel Eze Hermitage
• Breakfast and Lunch
• Mechanical support throughout the trip
• Support vehicle during rides, carrying mechanic, additional clothing and water
• Sports nutrition, including energy bars and gels

Not included: Flights, insurance, UK airport transfers, evening meals.

Forget the glitz of Monaco, Cannes and St Tropez, with their overpriced drinks and overhyped pebble beaches, spring is the time to head for the hills. The ancient village of Eze, with its fabulous views over St Jean-Cap Ferrat, is where the real appeal of the Côte d'Azur lies... Telegraph

Accommodation

Eze Hermitage Hôtel - www.ezehermitage.com

Nestled among gardens and rugged countryside, this quaint hotel is 2.7 km from the medieval village of Èze, 9 km from La plage de St Laurent d'Eze beach and 12 km from Nice.

Only 25 minutes from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport, away from the busy areas of Monaco and Nice but still easily accessible. And most importantly, it is situated close to the prime cycling roads of the region, so we have superb riding all around.

Rooms are individually furnished in a refined country style, and come with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. Some have hardwood floors and sitting areas.

There's a highly regarded French restaurant/bar with a terrace. Other amenities include complimentary parking and an outdoor pool.

Incredible - every detail is perfection. Do not miss this perfect jewel of a hotel. The rooms are exquisite. The breakfast is to die for. The staff amiable. The pool pristine... Tripadvisor
