Private Peloton
A European cycling trip built around your group, without you spending six months planning it.
You Had the Idea. You Shouldn't Have to Become the Travel Agent.
Getting a group of cyclists excited about a week in Europe is the easy part. Then someone has to figure out dates, hotels, routes, bikes, airport logistics, room preferences, restaurants, and what to do when everyone rides at a different level.
And somehow, because you sent the first group text, that person is suddenly you.
Private Peloton takes that off your shoulders. You tell us who’s coming and what an incredible trip looks like. We turn it into an experience your whole group can look forward to, including you.
Two Ways to Do This
One of our tours, made private
Choose one of our European itineraries and make it yours. The routes, hotels, and experience are already designed. We tailor the trip to your group and handle the details. This is the fastest way to get a private trip on the calendar.
Something built from scratch
Tell us the destination, approximate dates, and what your group considers a great day on the bike. Girona in May. Tuscany for a 50th birthday. The Dolomites with your cycling club. And if half the group wants serious climbing while the other half prefers a more civilized vacation, that is useful information too.
What's Included
- Private trip design. We start with your group rather than a generic itinerary. Dates, riding abilities, priorities, bucket-list experiences, all of it shapes the trip.
- Group logistics concierge. Coordinating a group generates an impressive number of emails, texts, and unanswered questions. We organize the rider information and trip details, so you don’t spend the months before departure chasing your friends.
- Rider-matched route planning. Your strongest rider shouldn’t spend the week bored, and your least experienced rider shouldn’t spend it worrying about tomorrow. We design the riding around the people actually coming, with route options where they help.
- Bike and gear concierge. We help your riders with bike selection, fit, and what they’ll need, so everyone arrives ready to ride.
- Private pre-trip briefing. Before departure we bring the group together to cover preparation, packing, and what to expect. Everyone gets to ask questions, and you don’t have to be the one answering them.
- Professional photography on the queen stage. We hire a local photographer for the biggest day of the trip, so you come home with real images of your group on the road rather than whatever you managed to shoot from the bike.
And most importantly, the trip is yours. You spend the week riding, eating, exploring, and celebrating with the people you chose to bring.
The Ride Captain
Every Private Peloton has a Ride Captain.
The organizer does more than book a spot. They had the idea, rallied the crew, and turned “we should do this someday” into a trip everyone will remember.
So you get the direct line to us rather than a form. First say on the routes before anyone else sees the itinerary. Your room sorted first. And the photography covers the whole group, including you.
Our first trip sold out. Here's what it looked like.
Giacomo led the Dolomites. Francesco, Andrea and Alice were with us all week. None of them came from a booking platform. They are people we ride with and eat with, and they were part of this before Avanti existed.
What It Costs
Most Avanti adventures run from $5,000 per rider, depending on destination, dates, and the experience. Tell us about your group and we’ll build a proposal around the trip you want to take.
We don’t build the experience around a group discount. If you’re gathering friends for a cycling trip you may remember for the rest of your lives, saving a few hundred dollars probably isn’t the main objective.
The questions that matter are whether the riding will work for your group, whether the experience will be exceptional, whether you can trust someone else with the details, and whether you’ll actually enjoy the vacation you organized.
That’s what Private Peloton is built to solve.
Private Trips Are Limited
Creating a private adventure takes more planning and flexibility than adding riders to a scheduled departure, so we can only take a limited number of Private Peloton groups in each destination and season.
If you have a destination or time of year in mind, starting the conversation early gives us the best chance of building the trip around your dates.
You Don't Need to Have It All Figured Out
You don’t need everyone’s flight information. You don’t need to choose the routes or hotels. You don’t even need every rider to have committed.
To start, we just need to know where you’d love to ride, roughly when, how many riders you’re considering, and what kind of riding your group enjoys.
Give us that and we’ll help you figure out the rest.
Tell us about your group.
A few questions. No commitment, no deposit, no sales call unless you want one. We will come back to you with something specific rather than a brochure.
