Greetings,
I live in the north of Spain in Asturias; home of Chechu Rubiera and
Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez and some of the most beautiful
mountainous cycling in Europe. It is a region where the mountains meet
the sea, lush and green. It is also an area where it is difficult to
impossible to find a flat place to ride. So for those who donīt like
hills you may want to stop here.
A friend of mine is starting up a cycling touring company that will
mostly include logistics and connecting travelers to appropriate links
for hotels, hostals, B&Bs, flight travel, transfers via, bus, train,
hired van etc. The company plans to include the famous Camino de
Santiago as one of itīs packages.
My interest is to help in the area of local bike tours and especially
cycling tours or rides to professional races. For those who have
visited the Tour de France or Giro de Italia, why not try La Vuelta de
Espaņa, which usually visits Asturias for some of the most decisive
mountain stages of the race. This year for example Asturias will host
three consecutive mountain stages including the legendary climb to Los
Lagos. With Alberto Contador back in action, it will be packed with
action. http://www.steephill.tv/vuelta-a-espana/
There is also the Vuelta de Asturias; a 4-5 day race usually held
around the end of April. It was one of the races Miguel Indurain road
each year as his early build up to the TdF.
For La Vuelta part of the package would include some form of meetings
with the Euskadi team as well as other Spanish national racers and
teams.
Other nearby races outside of Asturias that could be included would be
The Vuelta al Pais Vasco http://www.steephill.tv/vuelta-al-pais-vasco/
and La Vuelta Castilla y Leon http://www.steephill.tv/vuelta-castilla-y-leon/.
There are also a number of Gran Fondos that could be included
depending on client interest. Below are links to some of them.

Indurain

To wrap this up. We are looking to hear from anyone interested in any
of these possibilities. We are also open to any type of cycling
visits you may have in mind other than the above ones mentioned.
Please donīt hesitate to ask any questions you may have. The company
is working on itīs websit and I will post it when it is up and
running.
I will check back here every few days to see what kind of interest
there is and to answer questions.
See you on the road.
