The Dolomites and Italian Alps are one of the world's most picturesque and amazing places to cycle. The scenery, the food, the weather etc were all just so brilliant. The climbs are challenging, but with no time pressures and a support van, they ended up being more achievable than I had expected and I was proud to have completed some very hard rides (Stelvio, Gavia, Giau etc) . The tour was very well curated by Italy Bike Tours with a superb set of rides, sequenced well, giving a great riding experience and seeing amazing sites. The tour was so professionally organised with our guides Fausto and Ivan meticulously taking care of all details as well as making the tour great fun. Everything about the transport, the hotels, the bike (I rented their Ridley Falcn - it was superbly set up for big climbs) and on ride support was all brilliant and made it so easy for me to just focus on the cycling. I strained a muscle at one point and the team were very helpful getting me to physiotherapy appointments and adjusting the amount of riding I did on one of the days. Overall it was an excellent experience and I strongly recommend. Thanks especially to Fausto and Ivan who are top notch, ripping blokes who worked so hard to make it a really enjoyable experience.
