About Us - Sportive Breaks - Sports Travel & Tours

With you for the ride.

Sportive Breaks launched in the UK during 2015 with the innovative travel idea to collate all the best hotels for cyclists centred around European Sportives and Gran Fondos. Now in 2023 we have proudly launched in the United States to offer riders the same outstanding trips and services that have been providing happy memories and experiences of a lifetime.

Not only do we now offer the largest selection of European Gran Fondo and Cyclo-Sportive events available, we also offer longer ride & watch trips to every grand tour and to the biggest one-day races. Want to shout “GC Kuss” from the road side at the Tour de France or the Vuelta or cheer on Lauren Stephens as she hits the cobbles in Flanders? We’ll have the trip for you.

We are a team of highly experienced professionals who have been organizing cycling trips for more than 25 years. You are in safe hands with us.

We know the routes and we know the roads. We know how the event works and the best hotels for the start and finish of Sportives and for the pro races. We organize everything for you, transfers, bike transport, additional fuel stops, local guides, mechanical support and more.

Rich Stone

Firstly, would like to thank you and the whole Destination Sports team for a brilliant experience. The organization, material and guidance provided was excellent , having had experience of other companies I would certainly recommend you again! Everyone was so helpful and professional and went out of their way to support and guide us.

The team were all excellent and took away a lot of the hassles and planning, so thanks for that. Would certainly recommend you guys to anyone looking for a hassle free, well organised trip.

I greatly appreciated your time and communication answering any questions I had to make the recently completed Raid Pyrenneen challenge the best cycling trip I’ve experienced. So good that I’m looking forward to signing up again in 2023. Might even convince a friend or two to join me. One last note, and you may have heard this already, you provided us with 2 guides that are simply amazing - words don’t do justice to how perfect Paul and Jorge were… Thanks so much!

Andrea’s team took things to a simply different level – not one I imagined was available for a rider of my standard & opened my eyes. I am sure you do realise how good they are but thought doesn’t hurt to say it again. Super professional, really helpful and a great trip (hotel also good

my wife & I had a super time in Italy & thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Hotel Boe.The food was high quality & we thought the staff were very amenable ,friendly & understanding. I really enjoyed cycling with 'Ferri' . His pre-Maratona rides were extremely helpful..& he did his best to make sure no-one was left behind. Tommaso ,his mechanic, was really kind, obliging & super helpful. I look forward to engaging with you again - I have my sights on the Stelvio sportive
