“I had only been riding for a year before I signed up with Monty to ride around France. I wasn’t sure how I would go up the mountains but much to Monty’s credit, his encouragement, support and enthusiasm put me at ease. I had such a good time that I am going again with Monty in 2012″ – Tom Sullivan 2011 – Gen Mills
“Mont Cycling Tours not only enabled me to experience some of the most challenging and breathtakingly beautiful rides one travelling to France could hope for, but gave me the constant support and guidance to enable a recreational rider like myself to thoroughly enjoy it! Get On Ya Bike and Call Monty – He’s a Beauty!”
– John Kelly 2010 & 2011 Senior Consultant Enjine – Engineering & Training
“There aren’t many times in your life that you get the opportunity to really live one of your dreams. From the anticipation when you first see the majestic mountains that you are about to climb, to the moment that you hear the helicopters and see the pro riders pass within feet of you on some of those same roads – it’s very hard to find words that do the experience justice. The itinerary gave us flexibility to enjoy each town without feeling rushed, the riding guides knew their way around and managed each person’s abilities and expectations very well. Whether it was riding through quaint country villages, or absorbing all of the delightful sights, tastes and smells of the French countryside, Monty and the team nailed this trip. I have no hesitation in recommending Mont Cycling Tours to any rider who is ready for an amazing once in a lifetime experience. Thanks Monty – without question, one of the most memorable holidays I’ll ever have. ” – Phil Hanna 2010, Senior Development Manager -Villawood Properties.
“Another spectacular tour Monty. It keeps getting better.”
– John Gibson 2009 & 2010, Director, Massi Property Solutions.
“I had to go back and visit France again with Monty, it was that good !”
– Andrew Gooding 2009 & 2010, Senior Financial Planner, Choice Capital.
“Monty was a terrific host, informative, entertaining and organized. Loved my time in France and one of the highlights, amongst others, was catching up with my son, Matthew”
– Barbara Loyd 2009, mother of professional cyclist, Matthew Loyd.
“The Mont Cycling Tours trip to France in 2010 was an amazing experience. Jaw dropping scenery, fantastic food, challenging cycling and fantastic organisation were all part of a great event. Thanks Monty, an experience I couldn’t possibly forget!”
– Brad Paddon 2010, State Development Manager Vic, Stockland
“I was lucky enough to take part in Mont Cycling Tours’ trip to the Tour de France in July 2010. From the outset we knew we were in for something special – Peter and his team did a great job of meticulously planning the ride through four of the most amazing regions France has to offer. Whilst I was there for the riding (which provided a great challenge every day) some of the other aspects to the trip were managed brilliantly like the centrally located hotels in beautiful small towns, to the carefully selected restaurants after a hard day’s ride and to the brilliantly handled logistics to move us comfortably across the large country of France. The trip was one of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend it highly to anyone who wants to go to the ‘Mecca’ of cycling and put themselves in the thick of the world’s most famous mountains and have a crack! It was an amazing experience and lived up to every (high) expectation that we had. Monty is the consummate host providing the ultimate cycling experience. What a ride!”
– Anton Pound 2010, Stockland National Development Manager – Retirement Living
“ Hi Monty.I just wanted to write and thank you for putting on such an amazing trip. Going into this, it was all about the physical challenge for me but it became clear after day 1 that this trip was so much more than just the cycling. Amazing weather, beautiful scenery wherever we went, fantastic people, culture, architecture, food and wine all combined with arguably the best cycling in the world, there is not a whole lot more to say! After seeing the tour a couple of times I was also very happy with our itinerary and the fact that this trip was about our bike riding adventure and not chasing the tour endlessly. A truly fantastic experience and one that I will return for again in a couple of years – maybe as my 40th present! Thanks again Monty.”
– Ben Griffiths 2010, Business Development Manager, Henley Homes
“I’m not sure what flight I went on, not sure where we stayed, not sure what mountains we rode up…..but geeze I had a ripper time!”
– Nick Caple 2010, Director Choice Capital
“The trip exceeded my expectations, the riding was amazing and so were the restaurants that Monty took us to. I’m not sure how any future holiday could surpass this trip. Thanks Monty”
James Taylor 2010, Director Choice Financial Advisors
