The trip is based on your own transportation. We can also arrange transportation for you upon request.

We will announce the travel program as soon as possible.

For the "In the Footsteps of" trip, we're looking for people who want to relive an epic moment from cycling history with a cycling hero. A basic level of fitness is sufficient to participate.

01. What is the average distance per day?
The average distance varies between 40 and 80 km per day, depending on the trip. This is suitable for cyclists with a reasonable to good condition.

02. Do I have to bring my own bicycle?
Yes, generally. On some trips you can also rent a bike. On trips that involve flying, a bike can generally be rented. This is stated during the booking process.

03. Is there a follow-up vehicle available?
Yes, usually there is a follow-up vehicle for luggage and for support in emergencies. Or to refill the water bottle on the way.

04. Can I determine the route myself?
With group travel the route is predetermined, but sometimes there are options for extra routes or breaks. We are always happy to think along about alternative routes.

05. Is the trip suitable for beginners?
Group trips are often suitable for different levels. Check the level of the trip in advance. The level is indicated with a number of stars for each trip.

06. What happens if I can no longer cycle?
There is often a follow-up vehicle or support team to pick you up if you can't go any further.

07. What is included in the price?
Usually accommodation, breakfast and dinner, sports drinks, technical support, 1x sports massage, starting certificates and guidance are included. Costs for flight tickets, bike rental or personal expenses (lunch and drinks) are often additional costs.

08. Are the routes difficult?
The difficulty level varies. For the trips with a Granfondo we offer routes that ensure that you are fit at the start on the day of the Granfondo. You cycle less than on a tour where longer and heavier rides are offered. For the tours, the participants have a choice almost every day between a longer/heavier or shorter/easier route.

09. Do I need to take out insurance?
Yes, travel and cancellation insurance is always recommended, as well as insurance for damage to the bike or medical emergencies.

10. What type of accommodation is used?
After a day of cycling, you want to relax completely. That's why CYCLOsportive generally stays in 4- or 5-star hotels. We know how important it is to rest in a comfortable bed, eat well in the evening, and enjoy a good breakfast in the morning!

11. Can I keep up a little? Or are they all semi-pros who are coming along?
Yes, you can come along. No, there will be no half-pros. There will always be a difference in level. At CYCLOsportive we always go out with relatively small groups and can split the group during cycling so that everyone can enjoy themselves at their own level.

12. Can I also participate as a woman?
Yes! Fortunately, we see more and more women on bikes and also on our trips. It creates a nice dynamic in the group. So come along!

13. Do we have to do everything together or can I sometimes do my own thing?
A group trip has a program and we offer that every day. In the evening we brief you about the program of the next day. If you want to make your own plan, that is perfectly fine. Going out alone is not something we advise. We are happy to think with you about alternative routes if the group program does not suit you completely.

14. How do I get my bike to its destination?
On most trips you have to arrange your own transportation. Only at GF Strade Bianche we transport your bike and luggage. And we book the flight for you. We plan a drop-off and pick-up day. You fly to the destination with only hand luggage and arrange transfers from the airport to the hotel.

15. How can I best prepare for the trip in terms of training?
Keep in mind that you will be cycling for four or five days in a row. If you are not used to this, practice this at home. In addition, it is advisable to use a training schedule (at least 3 months) to be well trained.

16. Are there also introductory rides?
We plan at least 1x an online meeting in which we give the participants the opportunity to get to know each other a little better and where questions about the trip can be asked. A few times a year we organize social rides for which participants can register.

17. A trip has an odd number of participants. Will there be a charge for a single room?
Each participant at 'In the footsteps of...' has their own room

18. Is a medical certificate required for this trip?
No, this is not mandatory for this trip.

The guests appreciate our trips with a 9,2

Sports medical certificate

It is not mandatory, but it is wise to have a medical certificate signed at a Sports Medical Center. A sports medical examination costs money, but it is oh so important to know whether you can participate in this grueling journey in a healthy way. You will be fully or partially reimbursed for such an examination through the supplementary insurance of many insurance companies. To make it easy for you, To create this, CYCLOsportive has entered into partnerships with various Sports Medical Centers in the Netherlands.
