The most amazing trip ever!

I was in a group of 10 Alaskan women, all friends, traveling together to escape the demands of everyday life! Our experience with Live Love Ride was one we will all never forget. We were in excellent hands with our Mammas. We nicknamed our guides Mammas, because that was exactly what they were. We were well looked after, fed the most amazing foods, and completely safe. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime and lifelong friends. We are begging our Mammas to come to Alaska so we can guide them through our mountains!

Fantastic Trip – Great guides!

Had a great trip. Our guides, Rodrigo and Bruno, were excellent. The hotels the company chose were great, and same goes for the food. Everything was meticulously planned. Would definitely recommend it to others and hopefully return.

Terrain type:

This tour follows a relaxed mix of quiet vineyard roads, well-maintained gravel tracks, and scenic country lanes, making it ideal for leisure cyclists, e-bike riders, and wine lovers seeking a comfortable cycling holiday. The first days are spent riding through the renowned wine regions of Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Alta, where peaceful backroads and gravel paths wind between endless vineyards, medieval villages, and historic wineries. As the journey progresses towards San Millán de la Cogolla and Ezcaray, the landscape gradually changes from rolling wine country to forested valleys and gentle mountain scenery, with a few longer climbs balanced by rewarding descents and spectacular views. With daily distances ranging from 30 to 50 kilometres and moderate elevation gain throughout, this tour is designed for relaxed exploration, combining world-class wines, authentic villages, outstanding gastronomy, and some of the most beautiful cycling routes in northern Spain.

CYCLING HOLIDAYS FOR EVERY TYPE OF RIDER

While planning your cycling holidays, our staff may contact you to ask for further details to better design a bike tour more suited to you. However, all our tours are built to adapt to groups with different riding experience, having shorter and longer options. For "expert" riders, we provide additional cycling challenges. On the other hand we invite all our guests to simply hop into our premium equipped vans if they feel so or just enjoy a recovery day without using their bike.

RIDER TYPES:

1 BEGINNER

/ I ride my bike on a regular basis, for fitness, commuting or out with friends. I prefer rolling terrain but enjoy reaching my goals and enjoy an active lifestyle. I like to overcome some challenges on my bike, but mostly enjoy the landscapes and atmosphere during group rides.
You will get to ride at your own pace, in moderate distances and hop on our premium van if you so desire or, you can challenge yourself when you feel comfortable! You’ll get to ride in a peloton with like-minded people and always accompanied by our guides. If you want an extra "help" on your rides, you can also request an e-bike.

2 INTERMEDIATE

/ Riding is a great part of my life, and I ride my bike regularly with my friends. I am comfortable with rides of 2 to 3 hours, or even more at a relatively strong pace. I like to be challenged and to surpass obstacles or just ride smoothly in a peloton.
You will get to feel different riding experiences, from tougher climbs to rolling along in great company. You’ll have time to enjoy the great landscapes, gain speed in the descents and also push yourself and climb those tough hills. You’ll enjoy the variety of terrain, riding in a peloton and pushing a little harder just before the stop at the café.

3 EXPERT

/ I ride my bike an average of 100 kilometres or more per week and enjoy a fast paced ride for an extended period of time. I love to train, improve and be challenged by other riders. I enjoy all riding experiences, from big climbs to long, technical descents, especially the ones that allow me to push my limits and make long lasting memories.
You’ll get to ride in a peloton along with your peers but also challenge them on the long climbs. Lead the pack and take on the special extra-challenges we have in store for you – try to keep up with our guides as you go for the extra mile just before your well deserved rest and massage at the hotel!
