Sorry for the delay folks; here are the final details of next year's trip.

16th - 23rd July 2025. The week Le Tour visits the Pyrenees.

Climb the famous Col's at watch 3 stages of the Le Tour de France.

What's included?

Flight's from Stanstead to Lourdes

Transfers in the UK from Clitheroe to Stansted and in France from Lourdes to our residence in Bagneres de Biggore

The transfer of your bicycle and your luggage from Clitheroe to France

7 nights B&B

4 evening meals, including drinks

Route planning and guiding for all abilities.

Mechanic and van support when needed

Bike service before you leave (excluding parts)

Sports nutrition

The price has had to go up a little from previous editions, I'm afraid, due to the extra costs of the transfer to Stansted. I do think the trip offers good value for money at £1580.00, this is based on a twin room.

Theoretically, I've already oversold the holiday from the conversations I have had, so it's going to be a 1st come 1st served basis. Please message or call me with any questions or to book your place.

A non-refundable deposit of £500 will secure your place.

Looking forward to it already!

All the best

Can anyone help out?
My lovely daughter Maddie Paige and her partner Ted need to move to London in the next few months.
They are struggling to find a 1 bed flat in London to rent long term, possibly upto 4 years.
Any of my friends out there got a flat in the smoke they'd like to let out?
Ted is doing his PhD and Maddie works for the BBC.

What our customers say.....

'Fantastically organised holiday. Everything is taken care of (including bike transport) and its great value. Huge mix of cycling abilities and there is no regimented plan which allows everyone fully enjoy the cycling. Richard, Andy and Caroline were very accommodating and nothing was too much hassle, food is of great quality and plentiful, accommodation is super. I would highly recommend and will be going next year.' PM

'I've twice travelled to the Pyrenees with the Cycling Brakes , both times stayed at Les Dix Arches. I cannot recommend this trip enough, having travelled extensively with my bike the idea of dropping at the shop and being reunited in France is genius. Andy and Caroline of both times looked after us tremendously. Cycling is great with something for everyone from a quite bimble to epic days, I've done both. Get booked on, you won’t regret it.' SH

'Overall the trip was excellent value for money, superb cycling and great fun and I would recommend to anybody.'
PA

"As an (old) first-timer, I was a little apprehensive but was immediately included within the group and received lots of encouragement. I said at the time I have not had so many laughs in a week for a long time. I hope to be back."ES

'Would I recommend?......YES, the way Cycling Brakes do it, it’s a must do trip for all cyclists.' IR
