Access
As a long-time Official Tour Operator of the world’s most prestigious World Tour cycling events, we have unprecedented access to the race enabling our guests to watch the best of action from incredible viewing locations; whether that be right at the finish line to see the world’s fastest sprinters go head to head for honours, up an epic mountain pass awaiting a thrilling summit finish, at a stage start or a pinnacle point along the race route. All from exceptional hospitality locations that not only ensure the best place to view the action, but offer a fantastic social setting with food, wine, big screens and star-studded company. Our access doesn’t end there as our Tour Operator licence also allows us to guide our guests along parts of the race route closed off to others. Like riding off the actual stage start line and along close course roads ahead of the peloton. Or crossing the barriers at the Flamme Rouge to then soar across the stage finish line before stepping up onto the winner’s podium – all just hours ahead of the race itself. These are one-of-a-kind opportunities that guarantee a truly insiders experience.

Our Pro Connections
Since the establishment of Mummu Cycling, we have been strongly focussed on our connections in the sport. Decorated former professional, Stuart O’Grady was the first to hop on board as a partner and continues to play a pivotal part in the creation and delivery of Mummu Cycling tours. From there, a string of other professionals and former pros have joined the team to consistently host our tours over the years, offering an incredibly unique experience to our guests. What better way to experience the Tour de France than with a former Stage winner or even overall winner, Cadel Evans. Their level of expertise, skill and knowledge simply cannot be matched.
To add, our pro hosts hold the key to the inner cycling sanctum connecting our guests to many-a legend of the sport, whether that be former teammates, riders in the race, directors, or big names of the sport. Eddy Merckx, Phil Liggett, Andy Schleck and Johan Museeuw are just a few examples of stars of the sport we’ve had the opportunity to arrange special meet and greets with. In addition to that, we do pro team meet ups where you have the exclusive opportunity to tour a team bus, grab a snap with some of the riders and learn about the equipment and all that goes on behind the scenes of a World Tour race from the mechan

Our Delivery Style
All Mummu Cycling tours are delivered by our experienced team of expert staff scouted from all sides of the globe. Each staff member has a great passion for cycling and hold ample skill and experience in the sport. Our international team also guarantees that there are no language barriers on our trips and that we have the best local knowledge and tips while on the ground and creating trips. Whether that be sourcing the best restaurants, mapping out incredible rides and making sure logistics are seamless.
To add to our experienced staff, we have a fantastic support system that allows our riding guests to feel safe on the road and well backed. Our follow vehicles are always with riding groups, in addition to ride guides out on the road not only leading the way but also making sure the riders at the back are well supported. Vehicles carry top of the line 226ERS ride nutrition, electrolytes, water and spares for any mechanicals encountered along the way. All of these may seem like simple add-ons and things you may be able to carry yourself, however when riding in the heat of the European summer and within a dedicated time slot along the tour de France race route, the last thing you want to be doing is wasting precious time trying to hunt down water, check you made the right turn or fix a puncture. Our team are there with you every klick of the way to make sure all rides and time spent on tour is carefree and enjoyable.
Lastly, thanks to our ongoing partnership with Factor Bikes we are incredibly proud to offer our guests the opportunity to hire and ride some of the most cutting-edge bikes in the world. Not only does this add a whole new factor to your riding experience, but you will also save the stress of travelling with a bike and allow yourself the opportunity to extend your travels post tour, bike free!

Something for Everyone
All Mummu Cycling tours are designed to cater for both cyclists and spectators (non-riding guests). On each tour we offer a separate spectator itinerary that includes various alternate activities and experiences while the cyclists ride, however aside from ride times, the trip is completely inclusive to all guests. This ensures that we get a great mix of individuals who have been drawn into the sport for different reasons, but all share a common passion for the sport and the same excitement about experiencing the race. It also allows non-riding friends, partners and family members to still come along and enjoy an equally as exciting experience without having to sit in a van for hours on end while the riders do their thing. There’s something for everyone.
