Challenging cycling holidays
You are on your bike most weekends, you aren’t shy of a long distance excursion, and you are used to having the lightest luggage in the world, because it’s all Lycra. And you will need it on challenging cycling holidays, which cover 65-120km a day through stunning landscapes. Such as the gorges and foothills of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, cloud forests of Costa Rica or Tanzania’s Rift Valley.
