Q: How can I contact EuroCycler?
A: You can send us an email or call us toll-free at 1-866-789-3876. Our European offices can be reached at +41-79-697-0785. We're always happy to hear from you.


Q: What do you mean by "serious training"? Do I have to be a competitive racer to go on a EuroCycler trip?
A: Unlike the "wine-and-cheese" trips offered by other companies, EuroCycler puts an emphasis on training. Sure, we want you to have a great time and enjoy a one-of-a-kind European vacation. But we also want you to leave a better bicyclist than when you came-whatever your ability. That's why we offer a variety of different skill groups and routes for you to choose from each day, along with personalized coaching and instruction. On a EuroCycler vacation, your fellow riders will include everyone from sponsored team racers to weekend bicycle clubbers. But you'll all share one thing in common-the desire to have fun while becoming better at the sport you love.


Q: Will I feel comfortable coming on a EuroCycler trip by myself?
A: Absolutely. In fact, many of our guests come alone. One of the best aspects of a EuroCycler trip is that you get to meet and mix with bicyclists from all over Europe and America. Combine a common passion for bicycling, a festive European atmosphere and, yes, a little Spanish wine and you have a perfect recipe for camaraderie and good times. You may even make some lifelong friends. And while our standard trips are based on double occupancy, we can usually match you with a roommate of the same gender.


Q: Can I bring my own bike on the trip?
A: To make your EuroCycler training vacation as hassle-free as possible, we include the use of a top-quality bicycle in the cost of your trip. We also provide nightly maintenance at our on-site shop, along with a full-time mechanic. It's just a lot easier for you than having to schlep your bike all the way to Europe. However, we know how attached bicyclists can be to their equipment. So if you're willing to pack it, check it and lug it, you can bring your own bike. Of course, we recommend buying or renting an easy-to-wheel bike case. You'll also need to check your airline's policy on handling bicycles. On most airlines, your bike is considered to be one of your two-piece free luggage allowance for international fights. However, some airlines impose an additional fee for bikes, usually around $75. At the resort, we recommend keeping your bike in your room as we cannot accept responsibility for storing it.


Q: Do you offer more trips to places other than Spain?
A: To fulfill our mission of being the premiere provider of European bicycling vacations, EuroCycler will continue to offer more packages to more exciting bicycling destinations and events. And we'd love to learn more about where you want to go. Take a moment to complete our sweepstakes survey, which you can access on our home page, or drop us an e-mail about your favorite bike trip or dream destination.


Q: Will my non-riding spouse/travel companion have a good time?
A: In a word, you bet. Okay, that's two words. While you're off becoming Lance Armstrong, your companion can take full advantage of all the activities and amenities offered at the resort, including horseback riding, volleyball, tennis, swimming and just sunbathing by the beach or Olympic-size pool. They can indulge themselves in a massage at the full-service spa. Or take a trip to nearby Barcelona for a day of shopping, sight-seeing and museum-hopping. Every afternoon and evening you'll both have plenty of time to enjoy these activities together, share a delicious meal and take part in the festive fun and lively conversation going on all around. In fact, that may be the best part of the EuroCycler experience.


Q: Do I need to know how to speak Spanish?
A: As they say in Spain, "No". Most of our riding groups leaders and coaches speak fluent English and Spanish, at the very least. Also, all lectures will be conducted in English as well as other languages. Of course, should you need to ask a local for directions to the nearest bathroom, it's, "Donde esta el bano?"


Q: What kind of clothes should I pack?
A: Dress is casual at the resort, but you may want to bring along some fancier clothes if you want to go out dancing or dining in Barcelona or other nearby cities. Of course, training rides will be held rain or shine. So be sure to bring along some bicycling-specific all-conditions gear. And don't forget your swimsuit. No one wants to see your bare, untanned behind.


Q: Can I bring my kids?
A: Sorry, but no. For the consideration of all participants, EuroCycler requires all guests to be over the age of 18. Of course, if they are older than 18, then sure, bring 'em along.


Q: Can I extend my trip beyond the one-week training experience?
A: Absolutely. We'll be happy to recommend some options for additional travel in Europe as well as suggest specific accommodations, travel arrangements and more. Just let us know you're planning to extend your trip when you place your order.
