Grand Tour of Somerset Long Route

Routedetails

Simply our favourite 100 mile loop of our home patch. This ride takes in everything great about Somerset; the Levels, the historic villages, and of course, our awesome climbs - the Mendips, the Quantocks, Exmoor and the Blackdowns. If you're not from the area, then some of these may not currently mean much to you... but they will by the time you finish! Actually coming in at 105 miles or a loop of approximately 85, these are 2 early season challenges!

Bilbao to Malaga

Grand Cycle Tour of Spain
Bike Adventure

Join us on another fantastic adventure when we travel through Spain from top to bottom. Our journey starts on the northern atlantic coast and we weave our way through picturesque towns and villages. We will cycle across the high plateau at over 2000 feet altitude before dropping down to Madrid. We take a well earned rest day before making our way down to Cordoba and on to our final destination Malaga where we can celebrate completing our epic journey.

This ride is designed to offer a more cycle expedition feel as we tackle the full extent of the Iberian Peninsula from top to bottom, exploring and scratching well beneath the surface of real Spanish life, away from the Costas and the tourist honeypots. Of course, we shall be visiting some incredible spots along the way - Parque Nacionales (Gorbea, Montes Obarenes, Cuenca Alta, Sierra Cardena, Montes de Malaga), and historic towns and cities (less)
