Limburg, NetherlandsRide where the pros race. Cobbled climbs in Flanders, cobbled sectors on the way to Roubaix, short steep hills in Limburg: the spring Classics are raced on roads you can ride too, in the sportive open to amateurs.
The sportive and the race, in one trip. The amateur rides usually take place the day before the pro race: in a few days you ride the course and then watch it live, with the champions.
We take care of the rest. Hotel, mechanic, support along the course and getting you to see the pros: we organise it all, with the Italian Bike Division staff. Each trip page shows what is included.
Before you go
How do I book a trip?
Fill in the quote request on the trip page, or message or call us: within 24 working hours we send you the full proposal. To confirm your place you pay a deposit, usually 30% of the price, together with the full cost of flights and cancellation insurance, if you chose them. The balance is due by the date in your travel contract, normally one month before departure.
What does the price include? Is the flight included?
The price covers everything you find in the trip programme. Every holiday always includes:
- accommodation
- Bike Division Tour Leader and guides
- daily bike tours with support van and refreshments (snacks, drinks and fruit)
- mechanic and Italian staff always with you
- daily laundry for your cycling kit
- personalised Bike Division jersey
- basic medical and baggage insurance
Meal plan, airport transfer and a Tour Leader for non-riders vary from trip to trip. The flight is usually not included, so you can leave from wherever and whenever you like: book it yourself or let us do it.
How fit do I need to be?
Each trip shows the distance and climbing of the routes, so you can see straight away if it suits you. On some trips you can choose between two groups every morning, and you can almost always ride an e-bike too. If in doubt, tell us how you ride: we will advise you.
I'm travelling alone: will I find company?
Yes, and sooner than you think: we ride as a group and spend the days together. If you want a room to yourself you can ask for a single, with a supplement; otherwise we find you a roommate. Many friendships among our riders started this way.
Can I bring someone who doesn't ride?
Of course. On many trips non-riders have their own programme, with a dedicated Tour Leader: the trip page tells you if it is available.
