Diamond Cycle Tours is a boutique tour operator and tours are tailored to cater for what our riders want. But sometimes we are asked to set up very specific tours. We are planning one at the moment for 2015. In that case it is for a group on a tour through the Alps in France. The glue for that tour is a significant birthday for a rider who has done previous tours with us and wants a special one for his friends to join him on. Thanks for the vote Tim.

Diamond Cycle Tours are set up today at Mylor for stage two of the TDU. The peloton will come by 3 times so we will enjoy the atmosphere and some good hospitality. Only 60ks today so a rest after yesterdays 165k to Tanunda.Diamond Cycle Tours are set up today at Mylor for stage two of the TDU.

Our tour down under is fully subscribed. We have a great week of riding and viewing planned. Can’t wait. Look for our marquee at each stage. Say hello and top up with lollies and water. Rob and Antony

The Diamond Cycle Tours team has completed the 2013 Taronga Zoo to Dubbo Zoo charity ride. Last year they fought their way through snow and this year it was fire and smoke. All in a good cause though as $170k raised to fight depression.

Tim watching Froome on the penultimate stage of 2103 TDF. Great atmosphere at this mountaintop finish. Then a great descent back to the valley.

As if our Classic Alpes Tour isn’t enough, this year we added the Marmotte to the mix. This is biggest and toughest sportif on the Euro cycling calendar. So well done to the boys who did this event. It’s dark now and riders are still finishing! 175kms and 5065mtrs gain. This scene is at the top of the Col du Glandon as the first of 7ooo riders arrive
