Hi All,
Just trying to save myself a few hours of google searching and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for family friendly biking holiday packages\accommodation\destinations in Europe for this summer.
Specifically I'm talking about a wife in mid pregnancy and a toddler so looking for somewhere with a reasonable guarantee of good weather, plenty to keep them entertained/relaxed but with the chance of some riding for me i.e. half days guided
Probably a selfish and highly unlikely request but i'm sure I'm not the first to have such thoughts?
Cheers
