Short Cycling Breaks

3 to 5 night tours
Perfect for a long weekend
Great introduction to cycling holidays

It is important to gain a balance in life. A weekend or mid-week short cycling break can recharge your batteries and make the world seem a better place.

We offer an excellent choice of short, 3 to 5 night tours to suit those with limited free time who just need a refreshing break away. The trips include Boat & Bike, Hotel & Bike and single centre options.

Experience our 4 night Escape to Bruges break or choose a weekend in Portugal in farm-style accommodation and cycle into the countryside each day to explore. Or consider a trip to Holland to appreciate the vast array of colours of the tulip fields!
