Ideas to get you started
Want to go mountain biking in France but also fit in a Mediterranean beach break? This route was uploaded by a BikeRadar Training member and weaves from the town of Le Rove towards the coast. Dry, dusty singletrack weaves through rich green shrubbery, and climbs are rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the sea.

Heading to Barcelona to soak up the Spanish culture but still want to get out and spin your legs? AlunAlun uploaded this 17.6-mile road route, entitled 'Besos-Alella-TT'. Starting just north of the city, this route follows the Besòs river out to the north-east and winds towards the coast through roads surrounded by forest-covered mountains.
