What our riders think....

6/08/2019 2:19 AM | Provence Retreat - "Thank you for a great week riding around and up Le Mont Ventoux. I particularly liked the way Chris insisted on never leaving anyone on their own. Every detail covered, from bike checks to food on the road and good hotels and après velo. This created a really nice camaraderie within the group. I can’t think how this could be better. Live Life Cycling sets a very high standard. Bravo Chris and Lyndsey. "
Mal Heron

5/08/2019 2:02 PM | Pyrénées Randonnée 2019 - "Thanks so much for all support and our terrific days at Pyrenees, Lyndsey and Chris provided us all we need, couldn’t be better. 100% amazing unforgettable experience. Can’t wait for our next Live Life Cycling Adventure!!!"
Gabriel Guanaes Neto

21/07/2019 5:12 PM | Pyrénnés Randonnée - "We had a great time traveling through the Pyrenees. Chris and Lyndsey were very thorough to provide the best travel experience, everything run perfect. Despite the bad and predictable weather in some days, they were very careful to take us safely to the end of each route, Also, besides her sympathy, Lyndsey is a excellent chef!"
Luis Giovanni Faria

19/07/2019 2:57 AM | 2019 Provence Tour - "Wonderful people and a wonderful experience. I can't imagine a single thing more that either Chris or Lyndsey could have done to make the trip any more comfortable or enjoyable. The trip was exceptionally well planned and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend Live Life Cycling Adventures highly enough. You won't be disappointed. Michael and Yasmin Pannach. "

28/08/2018 9:26 AM | Dolomites - "Thanks so much for a terrific holiday. As a first-time cycle-tourist I had no real expectations, but any that I had have been very much exceeded. The riding, kindness, patience, company and overall atmosphere were just exceptional, and this is simply because you did an absolutely fantastic job in sometimes trying circumstances. The locations were outstanding, the Dolomites are simply otherworldly, the accommodation excellent, food great, cycling tremendous …. and the list goes on. This has now got to the point where everyone at Fratello’s is getting tired of the stories from Jamie and I."

8/06/2017 6:36 AM | Giro 100th Tour - "Wow – a great experience that will live in memory for many years to come. From the moment I was picked up everything was expertly planned, from getting excellent hotels so close to the Giro that the teams were stopping alongside us, to having various routes prepared should the mountain top snow force road closures. The support provided was excellent, with great fresh meals for lunch and energy boosting snacks throughout. I found great reassurance from knowing that all the kit we could possibly need was in the support van without us having to carry it up mountains on the bikes. All of this meant that the main event – the cycling – was spectacular, the group was a perfect size to build friendships on the road, the backdrops were breathtaking and riding the famous climbs ahead of the Giro gave a new appreciation of what the pro riders achieve. If you can make it to one of the tours, then you should definitely Live Life! "
Dan saunders

2/06/2017 6:51 AM | Giro 100th Tour - "Following on from our Tour de France trip with Live Life Cycling last year, we were glad to be able to book the holiday which encompassed the 100th Giro d'Italia. Only difference this time was that my non-cycling wife Maggie was travelling with me which we both thought may affect the dynamics of the group. Needless to say that it was not an issue and she spent the time in the support vehicle with Lyndsey watching me struggle up such iconic climbs as the Passo di Stelvio and Mortirolo and taking in the fabulous scenery. Once again, the tour was well organised with an attention to detail that can only be afforded to a small group tour. Great professional support, great hotels, great food, great cycling and now, great friends (even if we are old enough to be their parents!) Chris and Maggie Kent"

18/12/2016 7:41 PM | Cycling in Spain and France with LLCA - "WOW, what a fantastic holiday experience!!! Thanks to LLCA we share wonderful memories of the many scenic rides in Girona, The Pyrenees and French Alps. Chris, Lyndsey and team were well organised and enthusiastic in their support. We were able to enjoy iconic rides such as Col du Tourmalet, Cols du Soulor and d'Aubisque, Col d'Aspin, Hourquette d'Ancizan. Chris kept our bikes clean and safe. He recognised the different abilities in the group and catered for our individual needs. We can never forget that feeling of exhilaration in reaching the top of Lacets de Montvernier. Lyndsey's gourmet lunches were a joy to eat and gave us much needed energy. We got to appreciate the cultures, food and wine of Spain and France. What a wonderful way to explore!!! We whole-heartedly recommend LLCA for a tour."
John and Jan Fuller

4/12/2016 3:11 PM | Bespoke Spainish and French Tour - "When Chris and Lyndsey suggested that LiveLife could assist with the planning and execution of our own ideas for a group cycling tour in September including Girona, the Pyrenees and the French Alps we had no hesitation in accepting their offer. Chris and Lyndsey organized the great accommodation, the transfers, all of the rides and lots more over an amazing 3 weeks. Nothing was too much trouble - clean and well maintained bikes despite the occasional rainy day, considered and well thought-out rides to suit the different abilities and interests of our group, including the iconic climbs, and to complete the experience, some great food and wine at memorable restaurants. We have no hesitation in recommending LiveLife Cycling and Chris & Lyndsey for any of their cycling tours and would look forward to joining them again 'on tour.' "
Tony and Margaret Buchan

2/11/2016 6:50 AM | Great Holiday - "We had a fantastic cycling trip with Chris and Lyndsay. Chris taylormade a 19 day trip for 9 and then 11 of us from Barcelona - Girona - France and then delivering us to Northern Italy. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they went beyond what we expected. James the second van driver and Lyndsays's Mum were great support. Not having to worry if the bikes were in proper working order after a long flight was a big relief. Chris made everything seem effortless, which I am sure it was not. Lyndsay and Christine provided great lunches and morning teas. Although some of the riding was a little challenging at times - not having to worry about logistics was wonderful. We would thoroughly recommend Live Life Cycling to anyone/or group of friends wanting to do a cycle tour in Europe."
Tim and Pam

18/12/2016 7:41 PM | Custom Spain and French Tour - "We have always travelled and cycled independently in Europe – for 30 years, so it was quite a change to join an organized tour arranged by Chris and Lyndsey. And while I sometimes had little pangs of guilt to see our bags delivered to our hotel rooms, cycling kit washed, bike secured overnight and then prepped for each day’s ride, I soon learned to enjoy focussing on my KPIs: enjoy the ride and scenery, eat, drink, sleep and repeat! On the road, Chris takes first class care of all cycles and cyclists; he carries a great supply of spares and is a top class bike mechanic in his own right. Behind the scenes Lyndsey ensures we are bedded, fed and generally looked after! Live Life Cycling has my unreserved endorsement: join a tour, or create your own. Just do it! "

3/10/2016 3:11 AM | Custom French Alps - "Live Life Cycling Adventures is very professionally run and well organised with attention to every detail. All I had to do was ride the bike! My husband and I were collected from the airport, and the bikes were unpacked and put together. Home cooked morning tea and lunch were provided, and it was delicious with yummy biscuits, and a choice of 2 salads for lunch. On the cold days we were welcomed with hot chocolate and a hot meal! The bikes were cleaned in the afternoon and delivered in the morning with tyre pressures checked. Our washing was done every third day. When the tour was over, our bikes were cleaned and packed in their bags, ready to travel home. The hotels were good, and some were exceptional, and Chris had planned some very scenic routes with a good balance of climbs and opportunity to sight see as well.. Well done, Chris and Lyndsey, and thank you for a wonderful cycling adventure! "

15/09/2016 10:04 PM | Wow - just wow - "What can I say! Truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I have done the Tour before, but I was working on it so did not get a chance to ride. I have always wanted to go back and just 'do the Tour'; and this was a long time coming, but well worth it. Just to be able to get up in the morning and think only about eating, drinking coffee, riding, and smiling was an absolute treat. The organisation and support was fantastic, so attentive; almost like I had my own personal domestique. I would recommend Live Life in a heartbeat and will be back again"

20/08/2016 12:50 AM | Spring Classics and Brewery Tour - " An awesome experience. For me it was all about the cycling but LIve Life made it something special with the inclusion of the brewery and wine tours. I've never experienced anything like the atmosphere, colour and carnival of mass participation rides; Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix sportive are amazing. You will thank yourself at the end for having ridden two of the classics of world cycling. As a single traveller, the fact that these are boutique tours with small number means you will meet some awesome people and make new friends, you will not feel left out. Chris and Lyndsey are the perfect hosts making sure that guests are comfortable, catering to all our needs specially on race days with perfect spots to view the races with awesome food and drink. Live Life Cycling Adventure by far exceeded any other tour I have previously done in Europe and have already booked a second tour for 2017. "

23/07/2016 6:30 PM | TDF Tour July 2016. - "What a bike tour wow! awesome! to be etched in my memory forever a true bucket list experience. How glad am to be asked by my mate Brien to join him on this adventure in France. The staff all of them were so professional with all they did and had arranged for us all on tour yet with that family Aussie feel about them all don't change anything guys your great tour guides that's for sure. I'd only been ridding bikes for 8mths prier to trip and did 5mths sort of training for what I didn't really know what I was in for . The scenery the climbs the history beauty just blew me away, next time I'll up my training a bit though. The friendliness of all on trip staff an other guests made the experience so great too. Would go again in a heart beat. Bob Adams. 61yo.and love Cycling. "

23/07/2016 6:30 PM | 2016 TDF Tour - "This family run company went the extra mile to ensure that the holiday went smoothly. Described in detail over breakfast each morning, the routes were both challenging and beautiful and included such iconic climbs as Col du Tourmalet, Col de Peyresourde and the mighty Ventoux which was climbed from Bedoin as per the tour the day prior to the official race. Even when this stage finish was shortened to Chalais Relais, our enjoyment wasn't marred as the support trailer laden with fresh food and drinks had been parked in a position just 4k from the revised finish. With Lyndsey's fantastic catering and encouragement and support from Chris and Harry, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better run and competitive cycling tour company. Looking forward to checking out the Giro d'Italia trip next year! Good luck to you all and again.....thanks. "

21/07/2016 4:21 PM | St Malo to Nice June 2016 - "Live Life Cycling is the 3rd overseas Cycling Company that Viviana and I have used. By far and away they are the best. Chris's attention to detail was second to none. From daily tips about each stage of the ride, to well planned morning teas and lunch stops, and quality hotels and evening restaurants, everything went like clockwork. The family team was well organised and simply lovely people. Chris is a qualified bike mechanic and Lyndsey prepared 28 different lunch salads - 2 per day for the 14 day trek. Amazing flavoures, prepared fresh daily and, oh, so healthy. Our suitcases were personally delivered to our rooms, and the washing done for us. The bikes were checked mechanically on a daily basis, washed regularly, and the tyres pumped up each morning. Get off the bikes in the afternoon and go for a beer, come out in the morning and the bikes were there ready to go. Fantastic service. Don't bother with any other bike tour company. I wouldn't go with anybody else."

23/07/2016 6:30 PM | Tour de France 2016 - "Just returned from what only can be described as a trip that will last long in the memory for all the right reasons. Being a small family company specialising in "boutique" cycle touring, Live Life Cycling prepared a fabulous itinerary around this year's race taking in iconic climbs in the Pyrenean mountains. The care and attention to detail of the travel arrangements, routes, lunch stops and accommodation by Chris, Lyndsey and her family was exceptional and the enthusiasm was infectious. For me, it was a chance that at age 63 I might never have otherwise taken, but so thrilled I did. Can't stop me now!"
Chris Kent

2/05/2016 4:03 PM | Spring Classics and Brewery Tour - "A fantastic tour - well organised with a great balance of holiday and cycling. Chris & Lyndsey managed to secure great positions to view both the tour of Flanders and the Paris Roubaix as well as organising fine sunny days and even an Australian victory. Lyndsey catered for these days with home cooked biscuites and brownies, baguettes, fromage and jamon - excellent. Between the two Spring Classics we stayed in the Belgian village of Dinant. From here we managed to fit in picturesque rides, brewery and winery tours and tastings and even a visit to the local citadel. Evening meals were at local restaurants within walking distance of our hotel. Lyndsey and Chris could not do enough for us. They were particularly helpful on the transfer days with Chris driving us (my husband & I) from Lille to Brussels at 4.00am for our flight back home. I highly recommend Live Life cycling Adventures and look forward to my next adventure with them. "

15/04/2016 10:32 PM | Testimonial - "This was the first time I have done a cycling tour and all I can say is I will not look any where else when I book my next tour. I joined Chris and Lyndsay for a Live Life cycling tour and from the day I joined them they could not have been more accomdating. From my arrival to my departure I felt their hospitality was second to none. All my meals were orginised in advanced and our days activities planned to perfection. Any issues which may have arised on the bike were swiftly and professional repaired. I give Live Life Cycling a 10/10 "
Michael Saunders

4/01/2016 2:18 PM | St Malo - Nice Tour - ""This is my third tour overseas and by far the best organized in relation to the end of the day events eg bike maintenance and laundry services. I can highly recommend Live Life Cycling Adventures for the tour that was organized for us. Chris has customized the tour to include Mt Ventoux and a vineyard visitation. The days were well organized and the morning teas and lunches provided by Lyndsey were excellent. The scenery on some days was spectacular especially the gorges. Chris had organized the days so that we usually finished by mid afternoon which enabled us to check out the local villages. The evening meals were excellent and the accommodation generally good. A memorable experience for me and I can recommend Live Life Cycling for future tours." "
Neville Carl

18/11/2015 2:32 AM | St Malo - Nice trek. - "I can really commend this trek and all the people at Live Life Cycling Adventures. The ride was a combination of challenge, relaxation and enjoyment of cycling in France. Chris, Lyndsey and the team's attention to our needs and the detail of the planning and ride made it all the more pleasurable. There is nothing like eating and drinking well and having your bike checked and cleaned at the end of a long day in the saddle. I have been travelling to France, Italy and Spain for the last 6 years taking on rides such as this and can thoroughly recommend this experience. Now for the next one with Live Life Cycling Adventures."
Keith Carl

26/10/2015 1:07 PM | 2015 Tour de France Tour - "This trip was my first cycling tour ever and I can easily say it has been one of the best highlights of my lifetime. I spoke to Chris before he left Australia about "one day heading overseas and doing some fun riding". From this brief discussion we planned what I would like to do and what I was able to ride. Live Life cycling came back with ideas and it all went from there. During the tour I was made extremely welcome and I was always made fully aware of what was ahead and what to expect. Chris and Lyndsey made the whole tour a great experience. I can't recommend them enough. I appreciate the efforts of Chris and Lyndsey who went above and beyond to make my time with Live Life Cycling such a memorable experience."
Brock

25/10/2015 10:53 PM | St Malo - Nice Trip during September 2015 - "The whole experience from expressing interest in the trip, through the booking process and information and trip pre-planning correspondence ahead of tour start, was informative and very responsive. The cycle tour itself was extremely well organized with Chris providing good leadership on road directions and the support vehicle with Harry and Chris providing invaluable access to drinks, food and our day bags whenever it was necessary. Well timed stops for coffee and lunch meant that we finished each day with plenty of time to explore the town in which we were staying before dinner. The quality of the food was outstanding as Lyndsey is a well qualified chef who knows how to feed cyclists on the road each day with healthy energy laden dishes. Fantastic countryside with an itinerary that had a bit of everything with even a vineyard thrown in for good measure. The hotel accommodation was great overall given we were off the high volume tourist route much of the time. "
