How does the cycling work?

It’s like planting a tree. The best time was around 20 years ago; the next-best time is today! You
don’t need to be a green-fingered expert to put an acorn in the ground, and you don’t need to be
an Über-Cyclist to enjoy MeetSleepCycle – although Ironmen and race-hard roadies are all
welcome!

If you no longer need the under-five stabilisers, love the fresh-air rush, the in-moment
exhilaration, turning a pedal up close and personal with nature in sublime scenery, discovering
new places, meeting new people and moving under your own steam – then MeetSleepCycle is
for you.

I enjoy riding my bike but I’m not a ‘Proper Cyclist’ – I’m unsure if this is for me…

If you can safely manage a city-bike, are happy riding with others in expertly-guided small groups and enjoy the shared experience of cycling – with friends, family or fellow-commuters, then MeetSleepCycle is designed for you. Just turn the pedals – we do all the rest and, if you need a renewable power-boost for the hills, we have the technology!

It’s not all about the bike, we’re Making Events Healthy Again in more ways than one. JoinTheGreenRide & Join the Revolution, it will move your business and it may change your life!

Welcome to the Green Ride, Welcome to the Meetings Revolution!

Do I need to bring my own bike?

• No. We provide high-quality road or e-bikes for all hosted-buyers. Delegates will be split into smaller groups according to cycling experience, led by professional guides with road support.

What sort of distances will I need to ride?

• Between 20km-40km – with frequent stops, in small groups of similar-paced cyclists and all the pro-level support described above. Routes are carefully-planned for maximum ‘MICE education & discovery’ at specific points of interest, through Slovenia’s stunning Triglav Alps, between Kranjska Gora, Bohinj & Bled. The focus is entirely on shared enjoyment, great scenery and slow-road discovery rather than pace – around and not over the hardest hills!

How will I know which group to join?

• We gather detailed information on your personal cycling experience and match you with other buyers and hosts accordingly. You can consult us for detailed, personal advice at any time and we’ll publish the routes/distances on our platform this summer, ahead of the live event.

What about the roads and traffic?

• Our cycling routes are through beautiful, national park scenery in a country with one of Europe’s lowest population-densities – and locals accustomed to cyclists enjoying their spectacular scenery. Slovenia has an extensive network of traffic-free cycling routes which we may also use. 
• As any other active sport or pastime, cycling accidents do sometimes happen but usually through rider-error. We create low-traffic routes for optimum enjoyment with experienced guides/road-crew at all stages. Of course, it will be mandatory to attend briefings, follow MSC instructions and to respect fellow-cyclists at all times for a safe, enjoyable, event experience.

What gear will I need? I just can’t see myself in lycra!

• No problem at all. Regular sports-kit will work fine although we recommend fit-for-purpose road or MTB cycling shorts/tights. Standard, flat pedals will be fitted to all bikes – so no need to be accustomed to bike shoes or cleats but you are welcome to bring your own if preferred. Helmets (provided with your bike) are compulsory at all times and we’ll advise on all the right gear to keep you comfortable but without overpacking. 

It sounds brilliant but can I talk to someone to learn more before applying?

Of course, we’re always available (unless we’re out riding our bikes!) – just drop a line to: [email protected]

Anything else I need to know?

• We have a maximum of 20 fully hosted-buyer places for all of Europe with a number of participants already committed. This very special opportunity to discover super-sustainable Slovenia will be over-subscribed so don’t hang around. Complete the interest-form and we’ll be in touch to see whether or not MeetSleepCycle is right for you.
