There are a multitude of cycling tour companies out there, and some are very good.  We believe that we differentiate ourselves in a variety of ways. 

 

Firstly, we are a group of lifelong friends and cyclists with racing history and industry experience.  We are incredibly passionate about our sport, and about enjoying life.  We approach our tours as trips with friends, as the camaraderie among travel companions is paramount in the enjoyment of your experience.  We want to hear about your cycling adventures and accomplishments, swap stories and learn for each other during our time together.

 

Every guest, unless otherwise arranged, has a single occupancy room.  That means that you do not have to share accommodations with someone you just met.  If you are traveling with a buddy or life partner and want to share a room, then we will adjust your cost accordingly.

 

We treat our evening meals like a dinner party with friends.  No buffet style meals (though prixe fixe menus may occur in specific restaurants).  We are hosting you, and will pick up the bill!  We will not limit what you order (within reason), and want to treat you as we want to be treated. 

 

We will provide you with the services afforded to a professional team:  SAG vehicles, soigneur (massage services can be arranged), mechanical services, bottle hand-ups, wheels to draft from, and certainly encouragement or a polite push if desired.

 

We try to bring at least one guide who has been a professional racer at the World Tour or Continental level.

 

We have a professional fitter, Jerry Gerlich, on tour with us.  Jerry will provide assessment of your riding position, and you can (and should) arrange for a fit at the end of our trip.  He is a bastion of knowledge concerning bike fit, efficiency, and training methods.  Many cyclists do not understand the value of a professional fit, but it will dramatically improve your cycling abilities, and help to insure longevity with cycling!

 

We thank you in advance for considering Blokhaus, and aim to make your travel with us memorable!
