Factors
affecting grading include: degree of up/down, difficulty of the surfaces
to be ridden, amount of bike handling skill required, distances covered
and other factors such as heat, altitude or remoteness. All our trips
require basic fitness, preferably acquired through riding your bike, and
please remember that any cycling involves some physical exertion, so you
cannot expect that you will not feel tired on an 'easy' trip.
PLEASE NOTE: Conditions for a particular tour may vary from
one month to the next. The main benefit of grading is to provide an
overall indicator to compare one trip against another.
Biking Grade Guide
|
|
Easy |
Suitable for anyone who
can ride a bike and can manage a bit of exercise. No routes
are 100% flat, so there might be the odd climbs and descent,
but on the whole - easy. ( from 27- 35 km / per day ). Spend
2,5- 3 hours biking per day.
|
|
|
Moderate |
Suitable for
reasonably fit people who are confident riding long
distances. Fitness is more important than technical ability
for trips of this level, and some specific training or
preparation is recommended, e.g. running, cycling, swimming
or aerobics once or twice a week (preferably cycling!). (
From 50km-60 /per day ). Spend 3- 4 hours biking per
day .
|
|
|
Active |
Longer cycling days mainly on asphalt pave road or tarmac,
broken tarmac but no real off road. There may be some hills
and descents but not too many. 100% vehicle support and you
should have some fitness and be prepared for the bike trip.(
100-110 km for road bike , flat, no hill ), ( 60-75 km,
asphalt pave road , very hilly +- 800m ascending per day ).
Spend 5 hours biking per day
|
|
|
Challenging |
Long cycling
days and tougher terrain (for both on- and off-road trips)
requiring specific experience of more demanding and
technical cycling. Vehicle support may sometimes be more
limited; the routes can contain rough tracks, so some
off-road riding skills are an advantage. You should be
confident of your physical condition and bike handling
skills. Spend 7 hours biking per day
|
|
|
Extreme |
Cycling for up to 7-8 hours a day over mountain
passes requires you to be in great physical shape.
Roads/tracks are well
defined but some off-road riding skills will help. You will
be spending time
at altitudes above 1500 meters and could go as high as 2000
meters at
certain times in the tour. Riders should be happy
to undertake a long tough rides up and down steep mountains
or following very technical trails in testing conditions. A
high level of fitness required, as well as proven mountain
biking skills.
