Spring is one of the best times of year to explore some of our favourite destinations around the world. In many parts of the UK and Europe, we're treated to a spectacular bust of colour, as the lush green hills become carpeted in blooms of wildflowers. It's a similar story in Morocco, Japan and South Korea when the spring climate is also perfect for an active tour. In fact, many of our tours avoid hot and busy summer months so we advise planning ahead and checking the booking calendars to help you decide where and when to go. These are our top picks for spring cycling but our friendly team are happy to answer any questions you might have about the best time of year to visit certain destinations.

OPTIONAL E-BIKE DEPARTURES
We offer this holiday with an e-bike only departure as well as regular trips where you can choose a regular bike or a pedal assist e-bike hire. Our e-bike only departures allow you to experience more on two wheels whilst riding with like-minded Skedaddlers. Confident cyclists will enjoy the boost from a battery for those cheeky climbs and longer distances. With less effort required on the bike, you’ll have more energy at the end of the day for off-the-bike activities. Remember to select your e-bike hire when you book your holiday with us. You may choose to hire an e-bike on a regular trip but bear in mind that the pace will be set to riders without an e-bike.

Worth noting We run this tour from Jan through to Dec. The summer months however (generally from 01 Jul – 15 Sep) can be really busy. More people, more cyclists, busier restaurants, busier hotels etc, so we’d recommend travelling in the Spring or Autumn if you‘re looking for a quieter getaway with less cyclists to share the route with.
Please note We are generally not able to confirm any bookings for this tour made within 4 weeks of departure. Please contact our office if you are looking to book and begin your holiday within this period and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
