Tour Operator Bike Odyssey
Rising like a storm out of the sparkling canals of Copenhagen to a crescendo among the epic fjords, snowy peaks and roaring waterfalls of Norway.
Invaders, predators, barbarians – the Vikings are often portrayed as one-dimensional warriors whose achievements include little more than plundering and raiding. But from where did the Vikings originate? In 793, terror descended on the coast of Northumbria as armed raiders attacked the defenceless monastery of St Cuthbert on Lindisfarne. The terrified monks watched helplessly as the invaders made off with a haul of treasure and a clutch of captives. It was the first recorded raid by the Vikings, seaborne pirates from Scandinavia who would prey on coastal communities in north-western Europe for more than two centuries and create for themselves a reputation as fierce and pitiless warriors. We will journey into their heartland.
Building into the Odyssey we roll out of Copenhagen, against the flow of commuters of which 50% travel by bike. Leaving the Michelin Star capital of the world (which of course we will experience) we ride towards UNESCO Roskilde, home of Viking longships and gateway to the Isefjord where charming villages dot meadows that gently roll down to the lake. Crossing to one of Europe's cultural hubs Aarhus, we continue our journey which grows each day in ambition - Denmark is the flat cycling king of Europe and we will enjoy this tempo - knowing that ahead, once we cross the Kattegat (North Sea) the terrain will change. The Vikings raided all of Europe from these lands and their remnants are everywhere to be seen from shipyards to burial grounds, to Viking villages - we will travel with history as we board our own vessel to cross to Norway!
Landing in Kristiansand we know we have changed land formations as the hills grow and the waterfalls gush around us. We skirt the North Sea, via the amazing Under - a restaurant literally under the sea! Heading north we descend the 27 switchbacks of Lysebotn - this is a road that needs to be seen to be believed. Hitting the Lysefjord we take the breathtaking hike to Preikestolen - a rock lookout hanging out above the fjord - a terrifying sight, especially when tourists line the edges! We end our Stage 1 journey sailing into Bergen - as Vikings did centuries ago - it makes the perfect changeover point with its smorgasbord of restaurants, museums and heritage waterfront.
Stage 2 and the fjord expedition begins in earnest! With, of course, the best of rewards - epic roads, views and scenery, great hotels, restaurants and experiences. The Fjords of Norway are some of the most dramatic landforms on earth which makes this region a genuine marvel for road cyclists. Many are World Heritage listed and we ride along the best of them springboarding from one sparkling waterway to the next over amazing switchbacked roads past roaring waterfalls and pretty villages. Our journey begins as we boat along our first stage 2 fjord out of Bergen, heading east along the Hardangerfjord where we jump on our bikes. You'll have to concentrate hard as the views are spectacular! From Viking-built churches to cycling under the Skjervsfossen waterfalls, these are great riding days. At adventure capital Voss, we turn north boarding a boat to bridge the kilometre-deep spectacular Sognefjord heading into the Sognefjellet Mountains. The snowy peaks grow as we head to Grotti (which is very much not!) where we take you on a little diversion into our favourite local corner of this epic cycling region - see highlights below. Then back on the road the Dalsnibba and Geirangerfjord await - amazing scenery and must-sees in Norway - one of many on just this day on the bike as the Trollstigen 'Troll's path' lies ahead! Known as Norway's Alpe d'Huez we will ride down it (and back up if you are super keen!) before finishing our epic journey along the Atlantic Ocean road to beautiful Alesund.

Overview
Tour Operator Cooper Cycle Tours
This six-day bike tour through the heart of Central West NSW offers an excellent taste of rural Australia, winding through charming towns and rolling countryside.
Starting in Dubbo, riders head south to Wellington, passing through the quiet village of Geurie, with its friendly locals and classic country bakery. Continuing onwards, the route traverses open farmland and gentle hills to Gulgong, a historic gold rush town where you can explore the Gulgong Pioneer Museum and quaint heritage streets. Expect scenic views of wheat fields and woodlands, perfect for spotting native wildlife.
The journey from Dunedoo to Mendooran follows more undulating terrain, with stretches of bushland providing shade and opportunities for birdwatching. Mendooran itself is a quiet spot ideal for a relaxing arvo at the local pub. The next leg to Ballimore takes you through classic outback scenery, and the final day back to Dubbo via Wongarbon offers a gentle finish through open plains and small villages.
The best time to tackle this ride is during autumn (March to May) or spring (September to November), when temperatures are mild and the countryside is lush. Summer can be quite hot and dry, while winter brings chilly mornings and occasional frosts. Along the way, you'll find plenty of Aussie hospitality, ample chances to stop at local cafes and country pubs, and beautiful scenery that’s quintessentially NSW.
The terrain throughout is a combination of smooth bitumen and well-maintained gravel roads, making it suitable for touring bikes with wider tyres.

From Dubrovnik (Croatia) to Istanbul (Turkey) in 17 Cycling Days, plus one rest day to allow for 2 tours within a tour!
Starting in the Jewel of the Balkan Crown’ City of Dubrovnik we head south to the world famous Kotor Bay in Montenegro and onwards to Shkoder, known as the ‘Cycle City’ in Northern Albania. When you arrive you’ll know why! The bells ring here like the bicycles in Beijing! You have a day off and we miss cycling through the bustle of Tirana although you can opt to stop here for a few hours to explore the sights of Albania’s capital city. We stay over in Elbasan and you cycle across the border to the breath-taking beauty of Ohrid in North Macedonia. TWe head east through Bitola and Veles where you spend the night. In the morning it’s a short bus ride to Kochani to cycle over the mountain across the border at Delchevo into Bulgaria. From the University city of Blagoevgrad we then take you to the ski resort of Bansko at the foot of the Pirin Mountains. We breathe out here then head south freewheeling to the beach in Greece with a worthwhile detour to a ‘tour within a tour’ trip round the island of Thassos … from whence we make our last ride east across the Nestos Delta via Komotini and Alexandroupoli into Turkey and down the western side of the Dardanelles Strait ferrying to Cannakale then heading east to Can before taking a bus to bandirma to cross the Sea of Marmara by ferry to Istanbul, the historical bustling ‘gateway to the east’.
It is an exciting journey in this enthralling part of the world. Much of which is emerging slowly enough as tourist destinations so as to continue to retain much of the natural beauty, uniqueness and charm of the countryside and villages.
Highlights
- Kotor Bay and The Serpentine Climb in Montenegro
- Views from hotel in Shkoder and the hills in the north of Albania
- The beautiful Lake Ohrid in North Macedonia
- The Ciflik Winery in Bitola

- Crossing from ;The East' to 'The West' then 'West' to 'East' by ferry on our final day in Gelibolu (Gallipoli)
- Our hotel with its terrace overlooking Topkapi Palace in Istanbul
The first 6 days are the toughest from Dubrovnik to Ohrid with an average of 99 km and 1,877 metres of climbing per day.
The 11 days from Ohrid to Istanbul (Bus and ferry transfer to Istanbul from Gelibolu) average 96 km and 987 metres of climbing per day

Read the article with the exciting changes for 2027.
Our self-powered caravan begins in Beijing, China, the political and cultural centre of China and crosses mysterious lands, fiery deserts, and forbidding mountains. Almost 15 weeks later riders will arrive in Istanbul, the majestic capital of Byzantium, the Roman Empire, the Ottomans and now the Republic of Turkey. The route follows the Silk Road northwest before dropping back south in Central Asia. Included are visits to destinations definitely off the beaten track - the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan where riders will climb to over 4600 meters and cycle across the 'Roof of the World' and distant Mongolia, where riders will cycle along ancient trading routes through the vast steppes and meet the country's nomadic people, experiencing their age-old traditions.
Silk Route participants will ride to the mystical Central Asian cities of Samarkand and Bukhara and camp amongst the stunning meadows, rivers and peaks of Kyrgyzstan. There are points where quietness pervades and where the original travellers of the Silk Route seem to be just beyond the next hill, beckoning cyclists further along this arduous trek. Time and time again, riders will be amazed at the layers of history emerging from the sand, shake their heads at all that has been lost and take heart from all that is being preserved and created. Each group of Silk Route riders will be enriched by an intricate knowledge of ancient lands crossed and the inspiration that comes from sharing a grand adventure with new friends and fellow nomads.

A Border-to-Border Dirt Adventure
Come with us on our first Epic that drifted away from pavement in favor of dirt roads through stunning landscapes.
It won’t take long to realize that “The Divide” simply isn’t enough — this trip’s greatness is on display from the first pedal stroke. Grab your knobbies, throw your gear in the support van, and prepare for nine unloaded weeks of day after day epic riding and even better views.
Outside Magazine included the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route on its list of “The Best Backcountry Adventure Trips in America” and you’ll get the opportunity to ride every mile!
Our great adventure begins in the mountain town of Whitefish, Montana, among the towering pines and glacial valleys of the Crown of the Continent. Sixty-five days later, we’ll ride into Antelope Wells, New Mexico, in the wide-open high desert along one of the loneliest stretches of the U.S./Mexico border. In between, some of the wildest Rocky Mountains await.
So throw your gear in the van, pack a bigger memory card, and get ready for an unloaded ride that will show off some of the continent’s most astonishing scenery (and secluded cycling) along the way.
Be aware that this tour has tough terrain, mixed surfaces, rugged backcountry, bears, mountains and hills, high elevation, variable weather, and multiple climate zones sustained over a long duration. It’s important to be physically, and mentally, prepared for this epic adventure.
Elevation Warning: This tour reaches high elevations, with the potential to cause acute mountain sickness. Please be advised and call us if you have concerns or questions about the difficulty or elevation of this tour.

Tour Operator Cycle Caribbean
Let us show you why Jamaica is truly the "heartbeat" of the Caribbean
The ride is now part of an all-inclusive vacation package. Cyclists can come with their non cycling friends, families and spouse . Rides are usually finished before midday, so there is lots of time in the afternoon to have fun in the resort or go exploring with your non cycling companions.
We will have 3 distance choices and a minimum of 2 pace level groups.
Our stops are well planned so as to ensure everyone experiences the real Jamaica: we may stop at local food and fruit stalls or visit with simple local places.
Our ride routes are subject to change so please don't get geeky on us. Be flexible and adjust accordingly.
What is so very unique about our ride is the customized service provided by the guides and the fact that this is an escorted ride so NO ONE IS EVER ALONE ON THE ROAD BY THEMSELVES ! Ever! Our rides are group rides -we ride two abreast, peloton style!. The ride caters to ALL pace levels and we keep each pace group together with the help of our pro cyclists who assist those who face challenges, to stay with their group.
After the ride you have the option to do sightseeing tours whether it be climbing a 600ft waterfalls or watching your body glow in luminescent waters, there is so much to see and do here.
The Jamaican people are warm and genuinely friendly. You'll get to meet them up close and in their real world!
There is time in the afternoons to meet up with fellow cyclists, spouses and friends to explore the island's beaches, restaurants and attractions or to take in a massage or visit a spa.
