Sports, the choices are ENDLESS Cycling
Cycling on a Caribbean island…… ......... Well, Barbados is most probably not the first destination coming into someone's mind when planning a holiday associated with bicycle riding. And it is not widely known that race bicycling as well as mountainbiking is very popular amongst locals on the Caribbean island of Barbados. But Barbados has quite a history of successful competitors as well as a number of excellent bike routes and tracks. When the weather turns miserable in northern hemispheres, the wonderful climate of Barbados, which is never too hot and never too cold, with year round temperatures of 28/29 degrees Celsius, is an excellent reason for someone to choose Barbados as a cycling destination. The beauty of the landscape through which one cycles is unbelievable. No matter whether one is cycling high above the east coast with the Atlantic Ocean always in sight, or climbing up the steep hill to St. John's Church , or riding down the roads framed by lush, tropical vegetation into a "surfer's paradise", Bathsheba, or cruising along the East Coast Road, or climbing the "almost mountains" up to Cherry Tree Hill or Apes Hill, there is always something to catch the eye. It's breathtaking!
You may rent a bicycle at several locations
across the island, including at the Cruise
Ship Terminal.
Highland
Adventure Centre offers a
spectacular 12-kilometer mountain bike tour, travelling through the heart
of Barbados ... with a stop at a local rum shop!
When you choose Inchcape as your holiday home in Barbados, you are staying with the people who brought windsurfing to Barbados and started putting Barbados on the windsurfing-world-map. Its owners have quite a sports history in windsurfing, surfing, tennis, cycling, golf, soccer and ....and.....and they care very much for the sports oriented client. For our cycling guests we have worked
out a number of different trips to various parts of the island which are
put together in a little booklet and given to our guests upon arrival.
The booklet contains a great mix of trips of varying degrees of difficulty.
