Best for: Thrill seeking endurance riders
Highlights: When you bear in mind that the pros in the Tour de France take 21 days to race a meagre 2131 miles, it’s incredible to think that soloists in the Race Across Europe (RACE) have just 15 days to tackle a whopping 2926 miles. Breathtaking – literally! This is a great way to have the adventure of a lifetime organised by someone else.
