Please note we class this ride as an easy ride due to its flat nature HOWEVER there is a lot of ground to cover each day (60-70 miles) therefore you must be comfortable for long days in the saddle. We ask riders to be able to cover an average of 12 MPH - some sections will be slower below 12 and some sections faster above 12 but an average of 12 MPH is expected.
The route covers a mix of terrain - roads, cycle paths, canal paths and forrest trails ( non technical) we there for recommend slightly larger tyres with a bit of bobble and not skinny 23/25's.
Rooms are allocated on a Twin basis - if you are travelling alone you will be paired with another rider of the same sex.
This tour is limited to 14 spaces - Total cost for the weekend is £800pp based on sharing a twin room ( if you are travelling alone you will be paired with another rider) Single rooms are available at a supplement. Full payment is required 60 days before departure.
