Cycling is so hip, it aches. Suddenly I am interested in the lifestyle and the clothes; a pocket at the back of my top seems essential. According to British Cycling, their members have grown by 50% since 2012. We are all loving cycling. Quite right too, it ticks all the boxes; exercise, fresh air, freedom, travel and fun.
On The Rivet is not an ordinary cycling holiday but the brainchild of British Cycling coach Jim Styrin and super experienced event & party planner Debs Shilling. So the result is something quite special. A relaxed fun luxury cycling retreat.
Fully supported rides along the beautiful Jurassic Coast under Jim’s watchful eye. Think luxury spa style accommodation: Set in drop dead gorgeous countryside above Beaminster in West Dorset, Axnoller is a stylish collection of 3 houses with private pools, steam rooms, spa treatments and hot tubs under the stars. Fresh Dorset local produce, home cooking and delicious packed lunches. Relaxed evenings with like minded folk and surprise local guests; the best of West Dorset artisans, musicians and artists.
Am getting that back pocket top out right now.
