Grades

Grade 1

Easy- The ideal trip for those who like to take their time out on the road and not over-stretch things. Distances will depend on terrain, but expect to cover around 60km (35-40 miles) per day on flat and rolling roads, with plenty of time to stop off along the way. Great for beginners and intermediate riders.
