About Us
Having experienced the exhilaration and freedom of self guided cycling in Europe we wanted to offer the same experience to travellers in one of our favourite regions of South Australia - the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The ride is only part of the experience, along the way will be great cafes, restaurants, spectacular scenery and at the end of the day - 4 star accommodation.
When designing the tours we put ourselves in the rider’s shoes and include all the aspects that we would want to experience.
Our aim is to create a holiday that offers all the pleasures of the Fleurieu Peninsula along with the physical challenge of a bike ride. The rides are designed to maximize your riding experience in the minimum amount of time; however all of our tours can be varied to suit your needs. Add extra days, stay less nights, vary the ride, it’s your ride.
