“We typically ride around 80 km a day, bringing together people of different ages, abilities and backgrounds. What unites us is a love of challenging but sociable cycling, a great meal and a glass of wine (or two!). Many of our guests become lifelong friends and return to ride with us year after year.”
— Clare Holdsworth, Director of Wide Open Road
