Ride Guide
ROAD ADVENTURE. With over 8000m/26,250ft of ascent this is a trip for fit and experienced road cyclists. Many of the climbs are steep, but the descents are fast and furious. We stay in comfortable hotels and have vehicle support throughout. This is totally supported riding - at the start of the day, when the group sets off biking, your kit bag will be loaded into the support vehicle and transported to the next overnight halt. Apart from a fixed rendezvous for lunch, you are free to cycle at your own pace but the support vehicle is never far away. We must stress that apart from the emergency tool kit and spares that you would take on any day ride, you will not be required to carry any luggage. Stunning scenery, atmospheric overnight accommodation and a magnificent route make this an unforgettable experience. Average daily distance 75km/47miles.
