I would like to go on an cycling holiday abroad in April with a few friends. Ideally i was hoping for somewhere that has good weather at that time of year (although i guess not too hot) - does anyone know of a great place to go for cycling?
Thanks

    what alan says, easy to get to by train from the airport. Compared to some of the other firms the transfer time is only 1/2hr or so versus 2-3hrs packed into a tranny with a manic driver

    check the back of the mags for more, there are quite a few

    joyriders
    switchbacks
    toroloco
    mtbbasque

    Hi, I and some fellow riders have been doing the Algarve regular for the last three Febs, my wife and I were there for three months from Jan last year and also three weeks in November and I have done a week in July. We have been based in Lagos in the past but now have moved to Burgau. Easy reach of the Monchique (Foia 902m). I also ride with the Lagos roadbike club up to 40 out on some Sundays. We do a promo giving a lot more info on the area and the rides, accomodation discounts etc. Drop me an email on (rong.stuart@virgin.net) and I will attach some usefull info about road biking Algarve style on a reply. Many of the Protour teams have training camps in the Algarve and indeed we come across them from time to time, so if anybody knows a good place in the winter months it's them.

    Regards

    Ron Stuart.
