Road cycling in the Costwolds - The Guardian Healthy Holidays - How to be more active

January 16th 2012
Skedaddle

Nice write up in the Guardian on Saturday by Dixe Wills and Rachel Dixon about our Costwolds Introductory road cycling weekend.

Here’s what they said

Get into road cycling, Cotswolds

Do you feel like the only one who doesn’t spend your weekends in Lycra? Getting into road cycling will change your life for the better: you’ll be fitter, thinner, better versed in Britain’s backroads, and able to join in those (at first, seemingly tedious) conversations about cadence and cleats. Saddle Skedaddle (0191-265110, skedaddle.co.uk) specialises in all holidays bike, and has a great line in beginners’ road biking weekends throughout the UK. The Cotswolds is as good a place to start as any – pretty scenery and villages will take your mind off the thigh burn, and as this is not quite geared towards the super-serious Mamil (Middle-Aged Man in Lycra), you get to stop for the odd pint.
• £255pp for three days (two nights’ B&B accommodation), hire of a lightweight road bike £55pp (skedaddle.co.uk)

New Zealand Herald write-up about our Sierras to the Sea cycling holiday in Southern Spain

Nice write-up by Mick Webb that appeared today in the New Zealand Herald, all about our our Andalucian trip Sierras to the Sea, in Southern Spain. Check out what they said below:

IN THE SADDLE

Saddle Skedaddle organises guided and self-guided cycle rides on conventional and mountain bikes. Its “Sierra to the Sea” is a gently-paced, guided cycling holiday that takes you from Ronda down to Tarifa, via the scenic trails of the Alcornocales Natural Park. It costs £895 for accommodation and bike hire (£140), and also includes a post-ride massage. The next departure is 26 February.

On a chilly morning like today, some sun in Spain looks like a nice option!!

Morocco - Atlas To Desert

March 07th 2007

Morocco - Atlas To Desert PictureThis superb desert biking adventure focuses on the deep south of Morocco, a land of big skies and stark mountain ranges where mud-brick kasbahs appear to rise up out of the desert, sitting in tranquil palm oases and framed by dramatic backdrops of snowcapped mountains. We ride along Morocco’s dirt roads, taking us from Marrakech to the Tichka Pass, the highest in the High Atlas, and then southward, descending along the Draa Valley to the fringes of the Sahara Desert.
