Welcome to Gastrobiking 2008

Gastrobiking holidays run from March to November. We offer a range of cycling holidays to suit a variety of fitness levels, and appetites.

Jet Set Weekends

Cycling in the Vercors and the surrounding area is just the thing at the weekend. Climb a hill, have lunch and chill-out. From the UK, Ryanair fly to Grenoble and Easyjet and BA to Lyon. Jump on the train in London and in six hours you can be relaxing with a Pastis before dinner. More>

Centre based holidays

The Bakery Tours are our successful blend of the 3 c's : cycling, cakes and chilling-out. Ride your bike and enjoy eating as much as you like. You won't feel guilty. If you're not a super fit cyclist and you're looking for a suitable place to cycle, or have lunch, we'll take you to the right places. And we'll make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew. On the other hand, if you're looking for something that you can dig your teeth into, you won't be disappointed either. More>

Cyclosportives and other Cycling Holidays From Hell

Once again we're organising weeks around the increasingly popular cyclosportives. At one extreme, the Ardechoise is the ultimate in French Bikechic where a range of circuits are suitable for everyone. In contrast, the Marmotte is the ultimate ride from hell, there's just one circuit which is unsuitable for 99% of the participants. More>

Alpe d'Huez

For many cyclists, the mention of Alpe d'Huez provokes images of cyclists fighting their way through crowds of cheering supporters on the Tour. It's a challanging climb and a popular day trip. More>

Dual centre holidays

For a longer holiday you may prefer a multi-centre tour and there are several places we can recommend. We work in close relationship with Veloventoux, who are based near Mont Ventoux. Contact us with your ideas and we can advise accordingly.
