CONQUER THE MOST EPIC CLIMBS IN EUROPE
Band of Climbers Escapes design and create the world's toughest and most rewarding cycling events and tours. Each BoC Escape Event allows you to experience the pain, the suffering and the incredible joy of conquering the high mountains and hills of Europe. From single day Sportives and Gran Fondo's through to week long Escapes, we've built an event calendar to test your legs across Europe in multiple stunning locations. If you're looking for a flat ride, you're in the wrong place.

2024 ESCAPE RIDER
This was my 2nd BoC Escape of the year and I'll continue to make sure I come back for at least one Escape each year. The organisation is first class, the rides are from another world, so challenging but so so rewarding and the support on offer is unmatched by any other tour provider.
