It\u2019s not that cycling vacation where you are casually turning the wheel, maybe going just a little bit faster than a runner, and trying to look around as much as possible without running over a squirrel. No!\r\n\r\nThese Road Cycling Holidays could be best described as a Tour de Slovenia \u2014 Recreational version<\/b> . . . With maybe a beer at the end of each successful day.\r\n\r\nSlovenia is one of the most diverse countries in Europe, making it a perfect destination for this kind of holiday. Each day will see you cycling from destination to destination, swiftly moving through many different landscapes<\/b> \u2014 Both the terrain and the climate will be changing around you. Many take a whole month to explore all of them, but you and your speedy bike will only need a good week. Your days will end and start in a different hotel, each serving you delicious and nutritious authentic local meals<\/b> that will keep your legs moving and the bike\u2019s wheels turning through the day.\r\n\r\nThis is a cycling holiday meant for you road cycling enthusiasts<\/b> who would like to test yourself on new terrain. Every single day will present you with a carefully planned route of challenging but fun cycling, ranging from 50 kilometers to 100 kilometers per day<\/b>. You will be cycling in a team full of like-minded people, supporting and competing against each other. Tackling the roads as part of a team with such a great vibe<\/b> is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you should not miss.\r\n\r\nThe tour will be led by a local guide, a professional cyclist<\/b> with years of experience. He will not only lead the tour but can also give you training advice and tips for how to improve your cycling. And to complete that professional look, a support van<\/b> will be following you through the day, providing all the assistance necessary. If anyone encounters technical problems with the bike, the highly trained mechanic<\/b> will fix it up in a minute. And if one of the participants feels a little tired and wants to have a little bit of rest, our team will pick up the cyclist and make sure the tour continues smoothly.\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t worry if you didn't bring a bike to Slovenia. Rent a high-performance bike <\/b>from us adjusted to your specifications right at the beginning of the tour.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the tour, the whole group will feel like winners.
