FIND YOUR JOYRIDE
We’re putting the final touches on three new weekends in Europe, but just so you can plan out your own joyriding calendar, here’s a little save the date and first look at our destinations this summer.
You’ll have to wait a little longer to find out which legendary riders and chefs are joining us, but we’ve left a few clues below. Register your interest and we’ll send you more trip details before we go on sale in one week’s time.
CHAMPILLON
THE ROYAL CHAMPAGNE HOTEL & SPA
Famed for its Champagne houses, world-class produce and rolling hills, Champillon is a ready-made playground for the cycling gourmand. Hence why we’re heading back for another indulgent weekend of joyriding at Europe's No.1 luxury resort, The Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa.
So, who’s leading our vintage weekend this time? Here’s a little clue...
Nicknamed ‘Le Monster’, and labelled the comeback king, he’s certainly no stranger to French roads. Although on this ride he won't be dreaming about the yellow jersey, but instead feasting on Michelin-star dishes at Le Royal, guiding you towards Chateau Laurent-Perrier for a private tasting and of course, exploring the tranquil terrain surrounding Champillon, with strategic stops so you can re-fuel with the finest local delicacies.
THE SUNNMØRE ALPS
62°NORD
Explore the spectacular Sunnmøre region alongside two legends of Nordic cycling and gastronomy. Let the ‘God of Thunder’ and ‘King of Fire’ guide you through the wilds of Norway, together conquering majestic mountains, discovering otherwordly fjords and tasting the finest foraged produce through ancient methods of open flame cooking, smoking and preserving.
After immersing yourself in the wilderness, find serenity in 62°Nord’s two luxurious hotels, one nestled into the secluded hamlet of Øye, the other a UNESCO world heritage site in Ålesund; a town with a curious mix of the sophisticated Norwegian modern life and the charming quirks of a lost, simpler existence.

HOTEL RIOMAR
The Balearic beauty that is Ibiza offers luxurious getaways for party-goers and pedal-pushers alike, making it the perfect destination for our end of season joyride.
As well as eating up the smooth tarmac, we’ll be taking you off-road to enjoy the rocky roads and hilly trails leading to tranquil, awe-inspiring views across the mediterranean, before hitting the undulating southern roads leading to secluded beaches for Michelin-star feasts and sunset sessions with world-renowned DJ’s.
But who’s leading the dance? It’s a dynamic track duo of old, one famed for glorious days wearing yellow, and the other for equalling the most legendary Le Tour record in green.
No introduction needed for these two British sporting icons.
