Grading

GRADE 5 - This trip requires a good to excellent level of fitness to fully participate in this adventure, particularly if you plan to take the more demanding routes. There are a number of options provided each day and we supply gradients so you are able to make an informed choice about the route to choose. Cycling distances range from 31 to 80km (19 to 49.5mi) each day over undulating to mountainous terrain. The cycling is on low traffic side roads but at times you will encounter heavier traffic. The accent is on keeping a relaxed pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. Please ensure that you wear a helmet at all times on this trip.

What You Carry

During the cycle day you will carry your gear in the pannier provided with the bike (hybrid & e-bike only). If you would like luggage transfers, please ask for details.

Mode of Transport

Travel includes a 21-speed hybrid bike rental with options for premium, aluminium, carbon road bikes, or e-bikes. Transfers by taxi or public transport are available if you need to skip a stage.
