About Bespoke Velo
BIKE TOURING WITH A DIFFERENCE, IT'S A BIG CLAIM
You'll hear us say it because we know how you feel and sense what you're seeking.
You love cycling, you want to include it in your holiday yet you just cannot seem to find something that sounds like it will tick all your boxes. You are looking around and one trip after another feels just about right but not quite.
We hear this often from our clients and the best part is when they tell us that they feel that our cost-effective, bespoke tours fill their void. You will see the trip of your dreams unfold before your eyes while feeling confident that you're in safe hands.
We are also delighted to be offer the services of Sally Strang (pictured right) from www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/sally.strang who can help plan your flights
For over 2 decades we've been putting together cycling events, whether road, MTB or BMX, to satisfy the needs of our clients. We are cyclists, we live and breathe cycling and in fact, we often joke that our founder was born wearing cycling shoes!
It make sense to choose Bespoke Velo for your next cycling holiday.
ABOUT CHRIS BEALES - Bespoke Velo Founder
For the best part of my life, I have been within feet of a bicycle so it's fair to say that I have the cycling bug! I grew up in Australia where a lot of my cycling career was spent and came to the UK in 20099 and am now a British citizen.
I'm experienced racing and touring on mountain, BMX and road bikes. I have done a huge amount of event producing and managing of events. I understand what makes a great cycling event or tour from having seen the experience from both sides.
Some of my past achievements have included founding and organising The Tour of Cardinia, Mt Baw Baw Classic, Dirt Riders Mountain Bike Club and Knobby Sports. I was the Cyclesport representative at the Melbourne Commonwealth games and had an organisational role in the Sydney Olympics. I have been on too many councils and boards to list with a variety of roles from chairperson to consultant at National level and was the Australian commissaire of the year in 1999.
Oh and my cycling came good in the end being crowned the Australian Veteran Road Cycling Champion in 2007.
I still love cycling and spend any leisure time I have on the bike, whether it be a mountain bike race, road time trial or just out for a spin.
If you want my full CV and have half an hour to spare, just ask over a glass of beer. But prepare to be bored!
