hello everybody

first post so sorry for it being a bit boring.. but i could do with picking a few brains ..

im starting up a cycle holiday buisness based out of a villa on the greek island of evia,road and mountain biking so i love a bit of feedback and any other thoughts.

would you consider a cycle hoiday in greece ? if not, why not ?

would you bring or own bike or prefere to rent a bike?

would yo9u want a pool at the villa?

if there was no pool would a hot tub suffice ?

how many miles a day ( or week total ) would you like to ride?

would you prefere self catering, b&b , or all meals included( cooked by an experianced chef) ?

would you want a bar/ drinks included in your package

what size group do you usual travel with?

anyone who answers this will get a good discount !!!

cheers

would you consider a cycle hoiday in greece ? if not, why not ? Would give it a go

would you bring or own bike or prefere to rent a bike? Normally bring my own

would yo9u want a pool at the villa? Would be nice but not a deciding factor

if there was no pool would a hot tub suffice ? Yes

how many miles a day ( or week total ) would you like to ride? Normally 70-100 per day (road riding) on a training camp with a day off in the middle

would you prefere self catering, b&b , or all meals included( cooked by an experianced chef) ? B&B at a minimum possibly with an option for dinner depending on what the local restaurants are like

would you want a bar/ drinks included in your package Bar yes, again depending on local options. If there are decent bars nearby for evening entertainment then a bar in the villa isn't that big a deal

what size group do you usual travel with? Could be anything from just me to 80+ local riders taking over a hotel!

What are the trails like? I guess there won't be any lifts.
It may be ok in winter but too hot in summer for big days riding.

would you consider a cycle hoiday in greece ? Absolutely

would you bring or own bike or prefere to rent a bike? Maybe bring my own but if the bikes available are of good quality then it would certainly be an option.

would yo9u want a pool at the villa? Yes - Greece is so hot especially in the summer

if there was no pool would a hot tub suffice ? Possibly

how many miles a day ( or week total ) would you like to ride? Depends on the day, a plan for the week would be a good idea - a rest day or two in between some big mileage rides.

would you prefere self catering, b&b , or all meals included( cooked by an experianced chef) ? B+B. As long as local stuff as good

would you want a bar/ drinks included in your package bar is always a nice luxury

what size group do you usual travel with? 5-6

anyone who answers this will get a good discount !!!

im not a moutain biker, but the trails are good, its a mountainous island, but as far as i know no lifts

the weather is good for cycling all year round, but july and august does get pretty hot, ok if youre used to it i suppose, best months without a boubt are march till june, and september october and possibly november

we will probably offer different packages for the summer based on a more relaxing summer villa holiday style.

In what way are the trails good? Are they steep? Rocky? Rooty? Technical? Open and flowing? Scenic? Are they all natural? Are there built features? Are the trails maintained by local riders?
Need a bit of information about what sort oof riding to expect. It won't be very popular if it's just gravel tracks through the mountains.

would you consider a cycle hoiday in greece ? if not, why not ? Yes if nopt too expensive

if there was no pool would a hot tub suffice yes?
