We hire our guides locally in France, their passion and knowledge are what set us apart from other companies. They have been working with us for many years, are experts in their areas and share our love for France and cycling. They are ready to guide you on your next cycling tour in France!
Mountain bike racer David has been with us since 2008. He has guided nearly all of our tours at one point or another, and has also introduced quite a few other guides to the job. David spends the winter snowboarding in the Trois Vallées area of the French Alps, where he lives with his wife Susan.
Coming from a background in engineering and Formula One, which took him around the world, David is fanatical about the maintenance of our bike fleet!
Co-founder of French Cycling Holidays, he and partner Ruth formed the company to share his passion for good food, good wine, bicycling and all things French (not necessarily in that order) Mike is responsible for planning of the routes and selection of hotels, so if he is guiding on your trip please feel free to give him your suggestions!
Co-founder of French Cycling Holidays, Ruth is primarily responsible for administration of the company, but when the opportunity arises loves nothing better than to get on two wheels to lead out our bicycle tours.
Simon along with his partner Sarah cannot decide if life is better in the office or out on the bikes. We said why choose?! So they now do both!. Simon has been with French Cycling Holidays since 2009, and Sarah since 2015 both with mountain biking backgrounds they work great as a team both in life and when leading our tours!
Susan came on one of our trips and liked it so much she decided to stay and become a guide. Well really, she liked her guide David so much! She moved to France from Canada and 5 years later they are now married! Susan helps out in the office and she and David now often lead tours together, whether through the vineyards or up the mountains.
