The highlight of our trip (until the wedding)
We spent five days with CyclingHero immediately before our wedding. I’m still quite surprised Lucy (now wife) agreed to this.
CyclingHero made everything incredibly easy. The routes, bikes, hotels and logistics were all sorted, so my only real job was to suffer up the climbs and enjoy coming down the other side.
I’m a keen amateur who has only been riding for a few years. Before the trip, I’d barely ridden a proper categorised climb, so I was slightly nervous about what I’d signed up for. The days were challenging, but they were achievable, and it was easily the best riding I’ve ever done. The Dolomites are ridiculous. Even now, we’re still staggered by how beautiful they were.
CH were also brilliant at making the trip work for us as a couple, given that Lucy wasn’t riding. Bob and Caterina gave her plenty of suggestions for hikes and things to do while I was out on the bike. She ended up doing what she says was the best hike of her life, so it really felt like a great trip for both of us rather than just a cycling holiday she’d been dragged along to.
Bob and Caterina are genuinely kind people and very good at what they do. We felt well looked after from start to finish.
We’ll definitely be back!
