Slovenia overtakes France as 'hot spot' for cyclistsFriday, 20
July 2012 10:41 AM Travelbrite.uk.com
More Brits are going on cycle holidays than ever before
France is not longer the top destination for cycle holidays - now
25 per cent more people choose to visit Slovenia instead.
According to new figures from Wheel2Wheel Holidays, more cyclists
are visiting Slovenia for an active holiday than ever before -
making it of their top performing destinations of the year so
far.
Steven Rittey, of Wheel2Wheel, commented: "Slovenia is Europe's
newest active outdoor playground and offers great value for money
as a holiday destination. There are few destinations which allow
you to explore the whole of a country in just over a week. In
Slovenia it's easy to see everything in a short space of time
from the countryside to the coast.
"At the moment we are currently seeing more bookings for Slovenia
than the traditional destinations such as France, Italy and
Spain. Easy access to the capital Ljubljana and its central
European location make Slovenia convenient to visit and remains
one of the better value euro countries."
On the whole, cycling holidays have been getting more popular
with the British public: almost half of UK households now own a
bike and more people than ever are using bikes as a means to get
around.
Where to stay when you come to Slovenia to play?
Newly renovated luxury 2 bedroom cottage located just outside
Bled - tourist hot spot in Slovenia. The spacious living area
includes a large open plan living room with flat screen TV, wood
burning stove, dining room and modern fully equip kitchen.
Nestled in a small valley, the cottage is surrounded on all sides
by picturesque mountain views. There is nowhere is better to
enjoy the views than on the sunny furnished deck or BBQ area
under the shade of our grape vines and various fruit trees.
Bled is minutes away by car of train and is packed with great
restaurants, bars, nightclubs, casinos, family friendly
activities, as well as a beach, and a breathtakingly stunning
lake, island and castle.
The house is walking distance to a great pub/restaurant and train
station excellent for day trips exploring Slovenia.
It is also walking distance from some of the best fly fishing in
the world, a short drive from 3 major ski areas, a golf course
and some of the best wineries in Europe.

Ludlow, VT -The Butties are returning to Okemo Mountain Resort
for a free concert this Friday as part of the Vermont ski and
snowboard resort's Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series and
summertime food drive to benefit Black River Good Neighbor
Services. When concert-goers donate at least three non-perishable
food items, they will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win
Okemo lift tickets, new skis, gift certificates donated by local
businesses, and more.
Local favorites, The Butties are an all-Beatles cover band that
first played together at Syracuse University in 1983. Since
college, Sam, Paul, Mark and Robbo live in different cities
across the USA, but they stay in touch - and, to the delight of
their fans they get back together. When he's not playing bass and
singing with the Butties, the famous, yet down-to-earth Sam Lloyd
is an actor on stage and screen, best known for playing Ted, the
hapless, sweaty lawyer on the hit television sitcom Scrubs.
