Cycle Vietnam
Vietnam is an incredibly diverse country, with ancient cultural sites, amazing landscapes and friendly hospitable people. Our challenge explores the remote and traditional North of Vietnam, passing through incredible scenery of karst limestone cliffs, dazzling green rice paddies and lush jungle. The area is rich in local culture and populated by many ethnic hill-tribes, who still wear their own colourful dress.
As well as experiencing traditional life as we cycle through sleepy market towns and villages well off the beaten track, we also have time to explore bustling Hanoi, the French colonial capital of the north. This is a wonderful and at times tough cycle challenge through a land where the bicycle is still the most important mode of transport!

Cycle Cuba
Cuba is the Caribbean's largest and least commercialised island and one of the world's last bastions of communism. We ride along back roads passing towns and villages which seem frozen in time. There is barely any traffic, just a few horses and carts and tractors.
Highlights of this ride include the Bay of Pigs, the Sierra del Escambray miubtains, Santa Slara with its statue of the legendary Che Guevara and the captivating city of Havana which boasts spacious plazas and glorious Spanish architecture.
