Welcome to Bikexplore

January 2026 - Lanzarote Gravel NEW TOUR

This is a week-long, fixed-base trip, not all off road, although the majority is. Where we do have to go on the tarmac, I try to limit it to short connecting sections or longer uphill sections (as it makes them easier).

Each day we will head out to a different corner of the island, taking in some of the best views and visiting attractions, both on and off the 'regular' tourist trail.

Perfect Cycle Adventure. Great, scenic rides in good company.
It was a superb break! Helen and Harvey were sociable and ran it so well. Harvey led the runs and Helen remained at the back to ensure everyone was well catered for.They were a lovely couple who engaged well with everyone.
My third Martin [Jamieson] + Diane Bikexplore tour in as many years. Excellent as ever; everything organised (including most of the weather), but with a "light touch" when appropriate.
