Route des Grand Crus, Burgundy, France
Burgundy is among the most beautiful areas in the world, so grab your bike and paddle along the magnificent scenery in France. The Road of Great Wines offers as much as 800 kilometers of biking roads along which you can explore the region’s finest wineries and vineyards. This hedonistic bike tour does not provide only wine tasting, it gets even better than that! You should definitely visit AloxeCorton, a tiny town with no more than 200 inhabitants where the finest cheese is made. There is also a medieval towncalled Beaune you can visit if you are into exploring the historical sites. To hop on this tour you can get on a train and get off at the railway station in Dijon.
The Gorges du Verdon in southern France, South Island NZ and Lands End to John O’Groats should be on everyones bucket list. Not forgetting the Great Ocean Road in Australia which I’ve ridden a few times and will be joining 5000 Aussies on 26 November for another Great Victorian Bike Ride.
I’d add cycling around the hills and country-side of Chiang Mai, Thailand. World renowned spot due to ease of cycling and the gorgeous views of the country-side. During wet season at least. A little dry and drab these days but you still have majestic scenery with the mountains and deep blue skies.
