Tour legend Kelly to lead SpiceRoads classic

Saturday, 19 Jul, 2013 0

Legendary pro cycling champion Sean Kelly will lead a SpiceRoads Cycle Tour from Bangkok to Phuket from January 31- February 7 next year.

Kelly was one of the most successful road cyclists of the 1980s, and one of the finest classic riders of all time.

From turning professional in 1977 until his retirement in 1994, he won nine monument classics, and 193 professional races.

During his career he started in the Tour de France 15 times and wore the maillot vert on four occasions, won Paris-Nice seven years in a row and the first UCI World Cup in 1989.

On the Bangkok to Phuket tour cyclists will ride 700 km in six cycling days.

The group, which will be limited to 20 participants who have road riding experience, will ride along the east and the west coast of Thailand and overnight at resorts along the way, with afternoons free to enjoy the beach or the pool.

The tour starts in Bangkok and ends at Nai Yang beach on the resort island of Phuket.

The Ride with Sean Kelly tour cost is US$2,750 and will be fully supported by air-conditioned vehicles, with water, sports drinks and snacks provided during the ride.

Riders can bring their own bikes, or rent a Trek 2.1C from SpiceRoads for US$200.
