It would honestly be hard to pick fault with the trip, the hotel was excellent, food was excellent, rides were out of this world and the group spirit was superb for a bunch who were thrown together.

The Dolomites are a cyclists dream and Band of Climbers brought this dream to life. A healthy cocktail of enthusiasm and excitement translating in to fun, comradeship and a lasting sense of achievement. I don’t believe this trip will be surpassed. It was like cycling with your best mates!

This is an amazing trip for the price. Every possible need is catered for, the hotel is totally bike friendly and located in the midst of so many epic climbs. The routes were varied in intensity from day to day and even when the weather turned sour a rapid plan B was always drawn up for those who wanted to cycle no matter what the weather
