The biking lowdown:
A total distance of up to 210 km spread over 5 days of biking.
Riding distances, tour pace, and refreshment stops have been designed around a pedal bike pace, but E-bikes are absolutely welcome!
Daily riding distances have been planned so that you have time to explore historic sights, take in the scenery, and also enjoy the luxurious accommodation at the end of the day.
We encourage an early start so that you have time to recharge at the end of the day.
25- 58km riding per day on a wonderfully scenic riding route in an area relatively untouched by cycle tourers. Approximately 20% sealed roads / 80% gravel roads and farm tracks.
There will be mostly undulating terrain with some sustained climbs and descents. Our main variable will be the prevailing nor’wester.
Dirt/gravel road biking experience will add to the enjoyment of your tour.
We will be in touch to send you a detailed information and itinerary pack which includes a packing list.
Full refund if cancelled up to 30 days before activity starts.
There is a minimum number of travellers for this experience. If the minimum isn't met and we need to cancel, we will offer a different date/experience or a full refund.
