Bike Odyssey

Bike Odyssey builds its cycling journeys around historical figures and routes. The company, associated with Broughton Vale in New South Wales, combines long distances and organized support with selected accommodations and regional food. Its selection proposes journeys crossing territories and countries rather than limiting itself to a few hours on a bicycle.

Hannibal connects Barcelona and Rome; Lionheart links Venice and Paris; and Allies follows the stretch between Normandy and the Rhine. Venetians connects Venice and Dubrovnik, while Vikings departs from Copenhagen toward Ålesund. The names introduce each itinerary’s narrative thread and connect the sporting journey with the history of the places along the route.

The Odyssey links Istanbul and Ithaca in a program combining roads and sea crossings. The published route passes places such as Troy and Ephesus and adds gulet sailing through Dodecanese islands. In Greece, cycling accompanies visits to landscapes and historical sites in the Peloponnese and Ionian islands within an itinerary divided into stages.

Shogun crosses Japan from Fukuoka to Mount Fuji, with old routes, volcanic landscapes, traditional towns, and accommodations such as ryokan and hot-spring hotels. In Chile, Che connects Santiago with Osorno Volcano through vineyards and southern landscapes. Othello brings together Morocco, Spain, and Portugal, while Tasmania adds an Australian option to the selection.

Support includes Trek bicycles, GPS navigation, and assistance vehicles. Larger trips may include massage therapists, and the team brings together experience in archaeology, documentaries, cycling, and food. The company also arranges customized routes, maintaining a focus on combining the effort of riding with logistics supporting the different stages of the journey.
