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 past Cordoba and on to our final destination Malaga where we can celebrate completing our epic journey.

Quite simply, this ride is the perfect blend of sublime roads, stunning scenery, great weather, and to cap it off, we supply you with the pick of our leaders, the finest hotels, and we make reservations at our favourite and most exclusive restaurants. Our ride takes in both sublime coastal riding, beautiful back country lanes dappled in Mediterranean Sunshine, with citrus fruits overhanging as we pedal, and of course, the most fantastic and challenging climbs on the island. No expense has been spared to prepare this ride for you, and no shortcut has been made. If you need your ride to be perfect, and you expect the best, then look no further. Our leaders will ensure that your every wish and requirement is catered for. This is a very special ride - prepare to enjoy.

Join GTC on our annual Sportive Event - here on our home patch, riding on our fave roads, over our fave hills, and ahem, right past some of our favourite cafes. You have 2x choices - 80 mile and 107 mile...you'll need to keep up the pace to get all the way around this 107 mile wonder ride and don't be thinking the 80 mile is a baby brother either...still plenty of challenging terrain whichever course you choose. Including the majesty of the Mendips, the Quality of the Quantocks, the Exquisiteness of Exmoor, and the ... oh you know - the downright dastardly final climb up on to the Blackdowns - this is a true test of grit and determination. Four classic ranges of hills, and some truly epic riding...
