IS THIS TOUR RIGHT FOR YOU?
  • Just as a heads up before you enrol: This tour is new and while we have thoroughly researched every detail of the logistics, new destinations can sometimes throw us some unexpected surprises. More often than not, it’ll be a great surprise.
  • This tour is demanding and can be a definite physical challenge. However, we believe that anyone confident and competent on a bicycle with a good level of fitness, can both compete / complete and enjoy them.
  • Although this is a group tour, the differing levels of cycling fitness are more pronounced in the mountains. There will be times when you are likely to be riding on your own (but safe in the knowledge that the support vehicle is never too far away).
  • The route is designed so you can cycle from hotel to hotel. The support/ sweep vehicle will almost always be available in case you need to take a break for an hour (or a day).
  • There may be times when the organiser asks you to use the support vehicle for your own safety (such as on steep descents), please respect this decision. 
  • As the riding is on sealed roads there are no off-road technical cycling skills required. However, we highly recommend frequent downhill cycling practice before your trip to best prepare yourself for the long and steep descents.
  • The weather in this region can be varied. Be prepared to get sweaty and for the occasional rainstorm, which may require a change of plans.
THIS IS NOT A HOLIDAY PACKAGE. RIDERS WHO THINK CAN MANAGE TO RIDE THIS SHOULD ONLY APPLY. FINAL REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ON SELECTION BASIS.
