Riding
-
We want riders of all abilities to enjoy our tours!
The sample itinerary is designed for Levels 3 and 4, given the terrain and mileage. However, here is how we help Levels 1 and 2 enjoy the experience just as much:
We have built-in short cuts on longer days that allow us to split into two different groups, both accompanied by a guide.
All guests will have adequate time to refuel at our support stops and prepare for the next leg of the route.
We offer "boosts" in the support vehicle to help guests over climbs, or down descents they feel is outside of their comfort level.
We offer E-Bikes through our bike rental partner to close the gap between rider abilities, and lengthen the amount of time our guests ride together.
All routes—shortcuts included—will be covered in the daily team meeting.
Check out the Riding Levels section on the Tour Details page to know how we gauge Levels 1 through 4.
-
2-3 pairs of full kit
Cycling shoes
Head unit (we have plenty of mounts for Garmin and Wahoo)
Helmet
If you’re using one of our bikes, bring these items in addition to those listed above
Saddle
Pedals: Rental bikes do not come with pedals. Plus, it’s important that clipping in feels familiar for safety reasons—whether that’s Look, Shimano, Speedplay, etc
-
Our tour prices include a bike, so you certainly don’t need to. But you can absolutely bring your own bike if you prefer, which will receive the same attention to detail as our rentals; mechanical support out on the road, daily bike cleaning, and will be professionally built and packed.
-
We partner with various nutrition brands to accommodate a wide variety of guests’ different tastes, fueling requirements, and dietary restrictions. Additionally, we provide fruit and whole foods (PB&J’s, rice cakes, granola bars) for some variety from the gels, chews, etc.
-
Mechanicals happen, and we have you covered during the trip. We have a parts library that we can pull from to address the issue and get your bike rolling again. In the event that your bike is deemed unfixable whilst on our trip, you can hop onto one of our spare bikes.
-
All 6 rides are guided. Our lead and sweep guides are equipped to handle roadside repairs.
For all rides apart from the Day 1 Shakeout Spin and the midweek Recovery Coffee Spin (because these are <2 hours), we will have a support vehicle available with nutrition, hydration, and even a spare bike should you have a major mechanical.
The spare bike is a generic size that will help cyclists finish the day. Should the bike you were originally on be beyond repair, we’ll make additional adjustments or work with our rental partner to get you on a bike that is comfortable.
-
Your rental will be fitted according to the measurements you provide in our pre-trip questionnaire. We understand the importance of bike fit, so please don’t be shy with any additional details in this form.
