Cycling Trip Recommendations

Croatia is beautiful and slightly less expensive than Italy. The Dalmation coast (Adriatic) has many great historic towns, including some on islands where cars aren't allowed (Privc Luka, for one). Some tour operators offer package tours by bike.

I have been on 5 supported tours and on none of them were we expected to all be at the same speed. Sure, there was a leader and a sweep, but there was a very far distance between the 2 (or 3). Most tours have several routes for the day, within a given level, and you can always choose to go in the van. It's not a group ride. Backroads has several trips at level 2 or 3 where this would be a good option.
The only tour I went on where we were more of a tight riding group (with some days different than others) was when I went to Spain and there was a group of 10 (smaller than most US tour companies) and we just happened to be of similar riding speeds. They passed me on the downhills and I passed them on the climbs .
