The Spring Classics are a bucket list item for any hard core cyclist but the appeal of riding those iconic cobbled roads in the freezing cold rain, mud and wind just doesn't rate for most.

Well now you can pit yourself against the famous capi and pavé in dry lycra bathed in sunshine on this amazing premium tour in the month of June or August (dates change annually), riding and dining alongside 2 time top ten Paris-Roubaix finisher, Henk Vogels.

You will ride the legendary Arenberg Trench, test yourself on the Passo del Ghisallo and Wall of Sormano to name just a few, as you traverse some of the best one day classic courses across 3 countries; Italy, France and Belgium.

Featuring stopovers in premium accommodation in beautiful Siena, Lake Como, Sanremo and the home of cycling, Oudenaarde in Belgium this tour ticks all the boxes.

Special Comment: This tour is not suitable for novice riders. We ride big distances each day and some routes take us on cobbled and dirt roads so only confident riders with above average bike handling skills should consider this tour.
