The ride was rich, the conversation with Paul was the ‘Real Gold’
Bridgets level of care and attention to detail was impressive!
Spectacular scenery, delicious food and some never ending climbs…
Very hard to beat grey hair and experience…
Thank you for making our TDF so memorable

I am 75 years old and have had a full life.
This as been my best cycling experience and one of the best experiences of my life.
The cycling, food and companionship have been outstanding.

We were recommended by mates who experienced the Tour de France with Practice Bicycle Bike Tours in the French Alps. We were looking for a 'bit of a mates week away' along with some cycling challenges. From the moment we received our Itinerary based on our 'Custom Cycling Training week in the Alps' we were impressed with the professionalism, detail, for what awaited us. We were met by a male and female guide...WOW! Looks are deceiving, can these guys pedal, not just pedal, they can press, climb, they nurtured us for 7.5hrs on the bike, they know the terrain, quiet backroads, great cafe stops, recommended great restaurants but most of all Paul has the ability to make sure we all had a unforgettable French Alps experience!
Thanks for making my 50th one to remember!

Riding in the French countryside, especially in the Alps was something I had dreamed of doing all my life and after watching the Tour de France on television for several years I knew it was something I needed to do. The experience we had riding with Practice Bicycle exceeded my expectations. You both have a passion and love for cycling which is translated into the manner in which you conduct your tours. Each and every ride was a new experience and conducted in a professional manner to ensure our ride was not only extremely enjoyable but at a comfortable pace and where our safety was paramount. I would like to thank you both sharing the week with us and providing an unforgettable experience, which I am hoping is only an introduction to many more.

What an amazing week of bike rides! I am a 69-year-old cyclist with medium capabilities. I was a little apprehensive that there would be younger more proficient riders in the group, and I would have trouble keeping up. It was beyond my wildest dreams to be riding with a professional coach and cyclist. They were great companions to ride with and generous with their time, conversation, riding skills and tips. Each day's ride was different, some flatish, others undulating and a couple with challenging climbs. I also enjoyed each day's lunch - a delicious example of local cuisine.
I had unforgettable rides and will recommend it highly to people who love cycling and want a unique experience!
