Short Cycling Breaks

3 to 5 night short cycling holidays
Tours that are perfect for a long weekend
A great introduction to cycling holidays

A weekend or mid-week short cycling tour is a great way to take in a new destination and recharge your batteries. 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. These tours can also be bolted together with other tours, as part of a longer visit to a region.

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!
