Welcome

IF YOU HAVEN’T STARTED thinking about your 2018 biking holiday, now is the time. In this year’s Bike Holiday Guide we have six of the best tour companies talking about destinations as diverse as Cuba and Vietnam, Patagonia and the USA, Scandinavia and New Zealand. And all of these incredible places have many things in common… First of all there is the riding, from the trails of Colorado and Utah with 106 West to the other-world grandeur of New Zealand with Paradise Motorcycle Tour. There is something here for every persuasion, and level, of rider. But great riding is not the only thing this year’s chosen destinations have in common: without question the people you’ll meet on your travels will be warm and welcoming, the food will be delicious and the photo opportunities so unrelenting your memory cards will be begging for mercy. And remember, every month in our Tour Guide feature we look at a different holiday destination. Find the full list of Tour Guides (all available as digital back issues) on page 28 of this free magazine. Hugo Wilson, editor
