Grading

The cycling is introductory to moderate (2) grade with daily cycling distances from 30 to 69km/18.5 to 43mi over relatively flat terrain. The accent is on keeping a relaxed pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. It is considered suitable for cyclists with a good level of fitness. The journey alternates between flat roads alongside streams and vineyards and following bicycle paths along the coast and through forests. *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets be worn.

What You Carry

During the cycle day you will carry your daily requirements in the pannier provided with the bike. This may include your lunch, wet weather gear, mobile phone and water. A small daypack which can be kept inside the pannier is useful for sightseeing.
