Grading
This is an e-bike tour. For cyclists using road or gravel bikes, we recommend that you are fit and comfortably able to cycle around 20kmph on the flat and 10kmph on the ascents. If you are unsure we recommend an e-bike.
Even for e-bikers, the trip requires a good level of fitness from participants to fully participate in the cycling, which you should have acquired from steady cycling. The tours take you up to a height of between 200 and 500m/656 and 1640ft above sea-level. The daily tours from 20 to 48km/12.5 to 30mi lead you through hilly and mountainous terrain and will be completed without any time-constraints. Participants also need to master long and/or steep climbs. We will traverse mostly asphalted roads, which are rarely travelled on outside of the holiday seasons.
You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat, instead of taking a planned bike-tour. Each day you can either decide to bike alone, using the information and maps provided, or join the tour guides. It is considered suitable for fit beginners and active children (minimum height 1.5m/5ft for e-bike). *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets be included as a compulsory item on your equipment list.
What You Carry
During the 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.
