If you’re a fan of professional cycling, such as the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, or the Vuelta Espana and you’re an avid cyclist, what if you could live the pro race experience?
What if you could ride the same roads and courses of, for instance, the Vuelta Espana, then interface with pro riders, team directors, and other cycling personalities. What if you could even get inside knowledge and tips from former pro racers?
If you answered yes, yes, and yes to all those questions, a trip with Mummu Cycling should be in your future. The company not only offers interactive pro-race experiences, it also offers access to outstanding wine, food, and lodging along the way.
Who is Mummu Cycling?

Mummu Cycling is an Australian company founded in 2010 by Marcel Berger who directed and led tours for many pro cycling events. Mummu Cycling’s core belief is that knowledge and power plus experience, all combined, make memorable cycling vacations.
That drive for success illustrates why they decided to name their company after Mummu, a Babylonian god who embodies those principles. That’s also why they are the Tour de France’s Official Tour Operator (as well as the official tour operator for other pro races).
Tours Offered by Mummu Cycling

What makes an exceptional bicycle travel company is one that goes beyond the expected and tries to grant the wishes of its guests. So, when Mummu Cycling says they are a company for the “fanatics” of cycling, they mean it. What other company can say it has a champion of Paris Roubaix (2007) in Stuart O’Grady who designs, directs, and guides many of Mummu Cycling’s tours.
In addition to the tours Mummu Cycling offers to races like the Santos Tour Down Under, the spring classics, the three grand tours, they also offer the opportunity for a tour anywhere in the world. You select the location and the former pro rider you might like to ride with from a list that includes personalities like Andy Schleck, Ivan Basso, Tom Boonen, Sir Bradley Wiggins, and others.
You can also choose the number of days (7 or less) and if you want it to be a solo trip, a group trip, your cycling group/ club, or a corporate outing. The company will do whatever takes to satisfy the wants, needs, and desires of a potential client.
What’s Included in a Mummu Cycling Trip?

What Mummu Cycling offers its guests/ cyclists is yet another shining example of how it is a cut above other bicycle travel companies. While hotels and meals (breakfast, most dinners, and some lunches) are the usual suspects in its list of amenities, it also includes these things:
- All airport/ train transfers
- Transport
- Mapped rides (ask for this while booking)
- Daily activities and VIP “inner sanctum” experience
- Exclusive Stage/ Race viewing
- Mummu Cycling Merch kit
- Intenerary booklet
- Rental bikes from Factor (0r a bike comparable) setup with pro componentry and fit to your exact specfications.
Cost for the Santos Down Under experience, for instance, is 7 days and 6 nights. That tour is 2,645 Euros ($2,855.41). What’s not included is also typical: flights and travel insurance.
Last Thoughts

The chance to experience a pro race from a place not many get to see is exciting, and to get to ride the same course the pros do is almost unimaginable. If you are a true fan of pro cycling, a tour with Mummu Cycling is as close as you can get to seeing what it’s like to be a pro on the UCI tour. It seems the company truly wants to make your pro cycling fan dreams come true.
