Then you’ll find our new road cycling partners Love Velo totally irresistible. Love Velo offers exclusive luxury cycling escapes to handpicked destinations throughout Europe and if you book before 6 February, you are entitled to a 20% discount off of any of the rides. And if that’s not appetising enough, what about their incredible two-for-one offer in either sunny Majorca or Provence?

Holidays include cycling adventures through Scotland, Provence, Tuscany, the Pyrenees and Majorca, where, this March, the 5-day ride through the spectacular Pollensa countryside will be led by Tour De France stage winner Marcel Wüst.

So what exactly is ‘luxury cycling’? Ermine trimmed saddles? Dom Perignon hydration packs? No, as Love Velo’s mantra goes, “in luxury cycling, the ‘après cycle’ is as important as the riding experience”.

Which means, when you’re not in the saddle, you will be indulged in stunning villa accommodation, in your own double bedroom (unless of course you bring the other half!). You will also benefit from the services of an on-site masseuse to ease away the pains and strains of the day and you will enjoy the delicious comforts of excellent cuisine and fine wines. Some ride destinations also include an evening with a sommelier, cooking classes at the villas and even a relaxing yoga session.
