Cycle Tour Grading - Fitness Levels

We have graded our cycle tours with a fitness level from one to three. To help you work out which tour will suit you best.

If you’re not sure where you fit or have questions about a particular tour, get in touch! We love to chat and answer your questions plus our detailed itineraries have information regarding the terrains surface as well as the distances.

Level 1: 

Basic fitness from exercise once or twice a week. Can ride flat or gently rolling terrain, mostly smooth surfaces at a steady pace. An enjoyable ride is usually 1-3 hours with breaks. 

Level 2: 

Moderate Fitness from exercising two or three times per week. Can ride hilly terrain at a steady pace with more variable surfaces. An enjoyable ride is 2-4 hours with breaks. 

Level 3: 

Good fitness from regular cycling sessions. Can ride full days in any terrain on variable surfaces at a steady pace.  

Please remember that our tours are fully supported, and the support vehicle is available if you would like to take a break from the saddle. The cycling distances listed on the itineraries are the maximum that we ride each day and can be shortened to suit you. To help with your pre tour training we can also provide a basic plan to get you out and about on your bike.
