Club trips work best when the club's organizer doesn't become the travel agent. Each member registers and pays for themselves, picks their riding group and bike size, and the organizer sees who's in, who's paid and who's still deciding.

Highlights

  • A whole villa for the club, with a cook for two of the dinners
  • Guided rides at two paces every day, with a support van
  • A pasta-making class and a winery lunch on the rest day
