Nearly everyone who rides a road bike has aspirations to conquer a few iconic mountains from the world of professional cycling. If you've got your sights set high, we have a wide selection of tours on offer which showcase literally dozens of mountain challenges, all helping you achieve your cycling dreams of becoming the King or Queen of the Mountains...
In this category you'll find some of our most challenging rides, which feature many of the famous climbs from the Grand Tours of Europe, including the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta d'Espana. The world of cycling extends far beyond Europe though, and for the slightly more adventurous we can also introduce you to some of the legendary roads of Colombia. All of these tours have been designed to challenge and whilst not all of them are extreme, they are intended for experienced riders with a good level of fitness.
