We get asked this more and more: “I’d love to come – but with my food intolerances, will I even be able to eat with the group?” We understand – and you’re not the only one. For many women, food isn’t “just food.” We get it – and we care. 

We know it’s not easy to choose – especially when all four tours offer stunning scenery, small groups, home-style meals, and that special Sidetracks mix of fun, freedom, and feeling looked after. To make it a little easier, we’ve written up a short guide to help you decide.

After a long winter it’s normal to wonder: Will I still cope with hours in the saddle? Maybe you’ve already booked your cycling tour and the big question now is: Am I fit enough? The good news is – yes! You don’t need to be “super fit” to enjoy our cycling tours. With a few gentle steps now, you’ll be ready for spring rides that feel good rather than sore.

Booking early means more than just saving money – it helps us plan better, confirms your spot sooner, and keeps your travel stress-free. In this blog post, we explain how our Early Bird offer works, why it’s worth it, and how it benefits everyone involved.
