"Spring Classics tour 2017"

Hi Steve. Remember me?
I have just returned from Europe after an extra month cycling in various locations in France, Spain and Germany after doing the Spring Classics Week tour with your company. The Classics tour was fantastic and cycling on the cobbles, whilst a new and jarring experience for me, was more fun than I have had in a long time. Please pass my congratulations on to Darrel, Roy and the others whose local knowledge and experience helped make it such an enjoyable week for all of us in the group.

"Spring Classics week 2016"

Where do I start?! Thank you, Sports Tours International, for having Roy, Darrel and Ed on your team. An IMMENSE and pretty surreal 10 days of the incredible Ronde van Vlaanderen (where I experienced my first proper climbs, cobbles, riding in the rain etc), the atmosphere of the fantastic Scheldeprijs and the phenomenal Paris-Roubaix... need I say more about that?! ????
The professionalism, local knowledge and relaxed nature of the guys helped make this more than just any other tour. The wonderful group with whom I rode added immeasurably to the whole experience, too ????????. The only thing to decide now is which cycling Monument to attack next! I'll be in touch! ??????
Thanks again!
(The photo shows Roy unloading our bikes in Busigny, bright and early, ahead of the Hell of the North ???)

Your challenge entry allows you to drop down to a shorter distance. If this means you will be starting from a different point, we cannot guarantee space on our coach in the morning without advanced notice.

Q. How do I enter the Tour of Flanders and the Paris Roubaix challenge?

A.
Simply select the distance you want to ride when you book your trip. We will collect your race number and pack, and bring them to your hotel.
