Why it works as a group

Cycling splits the group by watts - the fast riders want the 100km day and the climb, and the rest don't fancy getting dropped on holiday. Manta plans it as one trip: route days for the racers, e-bikes and short loops for the cruisers, café stops and viewpoints for everyone, all from one base and one plan.

Pick by region or by spot. Each place below has its own roads, gradients and traffic - add the ones that fit your crew's legs to a plan, and Manta sorts the routes, the rentals and the budget.

FAQ

Can casual riders come?
Yes - that's the design. E-bikes, short loops, café stops and viewpoints run alongside the big days, and everyone reconvenes for dinner. Nobody gets dropped and left behind.
Do we need to bring our own bikes?
Usually not - quality road, gravel, MTB and e-bike rentals are available at each spot. Add a place to a plan and Manta notes what's rentable versus worth flying with.
How do we handle different fitness levels?
Each spot has café rides and serious climbs, so a mixed group works. Match headline days to your strongest riders and keep e-bike and short-loop options for everyone else.
Is it safe on the roads?
It varies by region - some spots have quiet lanes and dedicated trails, others need care with traffic. Manta flags the calmer routes and where a guide is worth it.
