Ride Holidays

RIDE Holidays have successfully organised cycling holidays for thousands of Lycra-clad Kiwis and Australians. Our holidays aren’t races. We’re often there to watch a race, not be in it. However, you will be challenged, which is why we provide a professional training program 12 weeks out from departure.

Each day there will be a choice of three rides:

• Cappuccino – 60km
• Latte – 80km
• Espresso – 100km plus

We really encourage non-biking partners to join us. They are referred to as Team Macchiato. On most trips they have a separate guide & vehicle. They won’t just be watching cyclists bobbing up and down.
