Additional Information

The biking lowdown:
A total distance of 620km spread over 9 days of biking.
This cycle tour is for everyone, pedal or electric bikes, daily riding distances have been planned to be achievable, but not without challenge! Gravel riding experience will add to the enjoyment of your tour.
20-104km riding per day on a wonderfully remote and scenic riding route. Approximately 40% sealed roads / 50% quiet gravel roads and farm tracks, and 10% cycle trails.
There are some big climbs, big downs, undulating coastal terrain, and, of course, there is also some flat terrain. We encourage an early start so that you have time to recharge at the end of the day.
Our ‘Sag Wagon’ support is available (most of the time) should you need a break from the saddle.

Upon booking, we will be in touch to send you a detailed information and itinerary pack which includes a packing list.
