Coached Road Cycling holidays
In the Alps, Tuscany and Spain
Small groups, no-drop riding and coaches who live on the roads you’ll ride so you come home a stronger, more confident rider, not just a tired one.
Choose your week
Three trips across the Alps, Tuscany and southern Spain. Each is built around the same no-drop coaching, on roads we’ve ridden for years.
Foundation Trip
Lake Annecy Cycling Holiday
Your first proper week in the Alps. Climbing, descending and pacing on quiet roads above the lake.
13–20 Sept 2026 · 6 ride days · 42–85km/day
Performance Trip
Málaga Cycling Holiday
Built for riders coming off a full season who want consistent, quality riding in the late-autumn sun.
7–14 Nov 2026 · 6 ride days · 60–115km/day
Expedition Trip
Alps Cycling Holiday
This is the hardest week we run, built around riding major sustained ascents with control and repeatability, day after day.
6–13 Sept 2026 · 6 ride days · 60–120km/day
What makes a New Generation cycling holiday different?
Most riders are capable of more than they realise. Our job isn’t to prove it to you – it’s to create the week where you discover it for yourself: valued, supported and never left behind.
No-drop, always
Two ability pods, each with its own coach. The fastest rider never sets the pace, we regroup at the top of every climb, and nobody gets left behind.
Coaches who live here
We ride these roads all year, in the Alps and return to Andalusia each Autumn. We know which are quiet, how they ride in the wet, where the gradient bites and where the best coffee is. Things a GPX file can’t tell you.
You leave knowing how
Every day has a focus. Pacing on the climbs, control on the descents, fuelling, and group riding. You go home a more capable rider, not just a tired one.
These aren’t production-line tours. They’re structured weeks on terrain I know well, run with the same care and ambition we bring to our ski courses. To help riders improve their skills, explore further and eventually not need us at all.

Plan · Ride · Review
The rhythm that turns six days of riding into real progress.
01
Plan
A 15-minute morning briefing: how everyone’s feeling, the day’s route and climbs, where to pace and where to ease, and the focus for the day.
02
Ride
Coaching on the road, in the moment – cadence on the climbs, line choice on the descents, drafting on the flat. Two pods, your own coach, routes that flex to how you feel.
03
Review
An informal debrief back at the hotel. What worked, what to adjust, what to focus on tomorrow. Usually over a drink in the evening sun.
Find your week
Foundation, Performance or somewhere in between. There’s a trip for where you are now.
Coached by people who ride
Our coaches live on these roads, but the achievements out there are yours, not ours. We inspire, support and develop – you do the riding, and you go home believing you’re capable of more.
Founder and Head Coach
Tom Saxlund
Twenty years on the road, a ski instructor’s eye for technique, and second in his age group at the 2025 Marmotte. Lives and rides in the Alps.
Coach
