What's the minimum level of fitness required to participate?
Our cycling holidays are for all types of riders. As long as you ride your bike regularly, about 2/3 days a week, and are comfortable with rides of about 90km on hilly terrain, and up to 120km on a long day, you are good to go.
Will I be able to keep up with the team?
Answer is simple : YOU ARE THE TEAM! We will always adjust to your level so nobody will get left behind. Ever. We welcome riders with a wide range of experience and abilities. The only requirement is a strong passion for cycling and the drive to improve. Any concerns? Email us!
Am I too old for this?
There is no age to treat yourself and have fun! Our cycling trips are for everyone. To date, we have welcomed cyclists from 21 to 70 years old. Any concerns? Email us!
How many kilometers will we ride per day?
That’s a tough question. Here, we prefer to talk in hours instead. Rides last between 3 and 5 hours, with one coffee/recovery ride at the middle of the week. Do you think it’s too much for you? Don’t forget that with massages, nutrition, coaching and the fact that we take care of everything else, getting back on the bike each morning will be easier than what you have ever imagined!
How are the rides organized?
Every morning at the briefing each rider will receive personal goals for the ride to come based on his/her abilities and level of fatigue. We all take the road together, as a team. On the short (rare) flat sections, strongest riders will lead the group. On hills, each rider will climb at his own pace with a powermeter. The riders who reach the summit first will turn back down to catch the last riders. Nobody stays inactive at the top. It means some extra miles for the fastest riders and some support for the slowest ones in the last part of the ascents.
