alps, southern spain, austria, the US
suppose it depends on the bike you're taking and how you're getting there

Its principally going to be a family holiday and was hoping to go somewhere bike friendly since with the rest of them in tow I'll get some time myself. Also would be a summertime affair and probably flying though renting a car once there is probable.

could do lanzarote, beaches, plenty of bars/restaurants several gokart tracks, quad bikes to rent and it's not daft money. road riding is good and if you get a guide or some local info good offroad aswel. 3 ish hour flight so that's not to bad, big name roadies train there and there are iron man type events if you go at the right time.
been there a couple of times for random holidays with family when i was younger and then with mates a few years ago.

Pre-kids, me and Mrs Beds went to Lanzarote in March, 4 years on the trot with our MTB's. There's some cracking trails, but its really REALLY windy and I would expect it to be bleedin hot in the summer.
Somewhere I wouldnt recommend is Fuetaventura. Took my road bike there when Mrs B was preggers with our 1st daughter and it was massivly dull
I ended up doing crits around the complex where we were staying cos the main roads were so shite.

Went to Morroco, but it was a cycling holiday. Not much else to do where I went, but aimed at all levels.

the Alps are good for summer holidays , plenty to do on bike or off the bikes .
Probably looking at the standard 2 weeks. Alps does sound attractive, a couple of the gang aren't exactly sun followers.
johnnyboy I take when you were asking what bike I was taking it was with a view to terrain etc? It would probably be a hardtail or a light full susser, not after super gnarly trails or owt. Lanza sounds good apart from the weather but when I do go it'll be for the Ironman.
