Go On A Ladies Cycling Adventure!

Women can ride with all the experience and knowledge of men!  Well, the women at Practice Bicycle believe this to be the case.   Share and enjoy this experience for yourself with your next Ladies Cycling Adventure.

The Team at Practice Bicycle Tours have been very fortunate to be a part of the women’s cycling scene around the world for the last 20 years and continue today with our small group tailored tours in France, Italy and Portugal.  When your thinking about that next cycling experience and don’t wish to keep up with the boys (even if you possibly could!) let us design your perfect bike tour.  When local knowledge is everything and cycling knowledge and experience is invaluable it’s our Women Only Bike Tour offering that will ensure that you and your small group of ladies get the most from your cycling holiday.

We had an absolutely fabulous time with the group, you run a truly professional operation and at no time did I ever feel that our safety was compromised. There was a great balance of cycling mixed with coffee time and delicious lunches. As novice cyclists your approach to teaching us how to handle the bikes and road protocol was done very well. Instead of bombarding us with too much information at the start of our 5 days, you gradually gave us tips which made us feel that we were actually improving our technique over time. We felt very fortunate to have selected such a stunning location to be based for the rides and the breathtaking scenery while riding made the experience very special. Staying in the one hotel made things so simple and uncomplicated unlike many of the tours I researched that required daily packing for a new hotel/ destination. I would certainly recommend your cycle company to friends as it was such an exciting, challenging and extremely friendly group for our holiday.

About the rides
Each cycling route during your Ladies Bike Trip will be tailored specifically for your bike riding ability and experience. If you’ve chosen one of our relaxed Bike Trips, it’s at a slower pace with shorter distance and a gem restaurant lunch each day. For the avid Ladies on our Training Camps we’ll put down a quality day in the saddle with longer ride distances and leave the relaxation and recovery for later on our return to the Hotel.
Sports drinks and nutritional supplies are always on hand to keep the legs turning as well as mechanical and first-aid support for any unforeseen occasion. The Practice Bicycle team have a world of cycling experience available to share with you, allowing each ride during your bike tour to be perfectly paced for you!
Our support vehicle is also available for anyone who would prefer to take it easy and enjoy the day from the comfort of the vehicle.
Ladies Bike Trip: Departure Day
