I’ve mentioned Bicycle Beano cycling holidays a few times
but it is 20 years since I last experienced Rob and Jane’s
unique style of cycling pleasure. Last week we took the Pino*
to join in their one week Snowdonia Beano and can report that
the Beano experience may have matured but it’s lost none
of the fun and craftsmanship that makes every ride an aesthetic
and social delight.
That Rob and Jane have sustained and refined their passionate
commitment to giving cyclists a good time over more than 25 years
is a wonderful achievement. A Bicycle Beano is a fusion of healthy
eating, new and old friendships, beautiful landscapes, relaxed
cycling with challenges for people at every level of ability and
ambition, carefully chosen waterholes and madcap humour, all tied
together with impeccable organisation. No wonder huge numbers
of their customers come back repeatedly and think of Jane and
Rob and their helpers as real friends.
