Cycling holidays that take your breath away
Slipstream /ˈslɪpstriːm/
Slipstreaming is when you ride closely behind the person in front, benefitting from a reduction in your overall drag, thus making your ride easier than being alone.
It’s not about being able to ride as fast as possible to get to the finish line, it's about achieving more through the power of a team to spend more time enjoying the moments.
This is our philosophy.
Escape the Ordinary.
Ride with us.
Our Experiences
Three destinations, one base in each, and routes we have ridden until we know which café is worth the stop.
Morzine, French Alps · Road
Tour de France cols from a single chalet, and a lake ride for when the legs want one. An hour and a quarter from Geneva.
From £1,049 · June to August
Tuscany, Italy · Gravel
The white strade bianche of the Val d'Orcia, an espresso in Montepulciano, lunch in Pienza and a pool back at the villa.
From £1,299 · May to June
Girona, Costa Brava · Gravel
Coastal road, red gravel and Rocacorba, ridden from a stone masia close enough to the sea to swim before dinner.
From £1,299 · September to October
We guide you on iconic roads and hidden trails, with itineraries tailored to your group, and a founder who rides every kilometre with you. A week you'll never forget.
Fully hosted cycling holidays in Morzine, Tuscany and Girona
From epic mountain cols to white gravel roads.
Slipstream Adventures brings you the best of cycling in three iconic destinations: the French Alps, the rolling hills of Tuscany, and the gravel coast of Girona. Whether you come solo, with friends, or as a group, everything is taken care of: transfers, stunning accommodation, guided rides, and tailored routes. All you do is turn the pedals and enjoy the ride.
Relax, refuel, recharge.
Unwind in a beautiful catered villa, with your private chef serving breakfast, afternoon cake, and evening dinners designed to fuel your rides and nourish your body. Wake up to fresh coffee and end each day sharing stories over dessert with a group that feels like old friends.
One base, one group
Your group is the group. One chalet or villa for the whole week, en suite rooms throughout, and the same faces at dinner every night. We cap our individual weeks at twelve. Every Slipstream week runs to the same architecture: an arrival ride to shake off the travel, a long one, a queen stage, a recovery spin, a rest day, and a proper send-off on the Friday. Those are our routes and we know them well. What changes is how big each of those days is, and that is decided by who is on the week.
Find the week that fits how you ride
Same locations, very different weeks. Some are built for riders taking on their first proper week in the mountains: shorter days, frequent regroups, time at the top of every climb to take in the views. Others are quick. Long days, big climbing, ridden by people who are pushing the limits and chasing down KOMs.
Across the three destinations the days run from around sixty kilometres to comfortably over a hundred, and from a steady day's climbing to a few thousand metres. Where your week sits in that range depends on who is on it.
This is why we would rather talk to you before you book. Tell us what you ride at home and what you want out of the week, and we will point you at the one you will enjoy. Nobody should spend seven days hanging on, and nobody should spend more time waiting than riding.
Who it suits
Riders who come for the riding. You don't have to be fast, but you do have to want to ride: five days out of seven, back to back with a rest day in the middle, with people who feel the same way about it. Some of our weeks are somebody's first big trip. Others are properly quick. All have a common love for riding in some of the most beautiful destinations in Europe.
★★★★★
"The best cycling holiday I've ever been on. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The itinerary was brilliantly planned. Riding in the Alps was challenging but never overwhelming thanks to Sam and Jay. Already counting down until I go back. If you're considering it, book it, you won't regret it.”

★★★★★
“I had what can only be described as a life changing week! Sam and Jay are honestly incredible at what they do and the energy was 10/10 from start to finish. I left with a very full heart and very tired legs. What an experience! Thank you for all your hard work, I’ll be back that’s for sure”
