We start at the rooftop bar in the Spanish coastal seaport of Bilbao overlooking the city skyline at twilight. You may make some time on your arrival to visit the 2nd of the famous Guggenheim Museums. From Bilbao, we begin our journey to France along the rugged Basque coastline through small fishing villages to arrive at the iconic seaside town of San Sebastian for Tapas and Sangria in the old town. Our green route inland toward the Pyrenees is carefully chosen for smooth quiet roads all the way with the option to bag the trophy climb of Col d’Aubisque on arrival to Lourdes.
This route was chosen to offer exceptional landscape and cultural experiences on a route that is not too challenging.

I loved the bikeNOW Team support, but what was especially remarkable is how bikeNOW managed different abilities in the group; they usually had everybody arriving at the top or end at the same time and loved the Tarmac Disc.

Warren is just some simply great.
BikeNOW goes over the top to deliver; they are an honest and great team. I am very proud of what they do, how they do it and how humble they are. I am a huge fan!

I keep coming back because it is a complete break: foreign country, radio t.v. or news, different language, no city and European countryside with polite drivers, warm weather, sunshine and good company.
