Easy
easy You’re new to biking, or you just want to take it easy with lots of stops to take pictures and explore and no one hurrying you along. Expect a leisurely pace over generally flat terrain. Average distance per day: 18-35 miles.
Moderate
moderate You’re not a fanatical rider, but you exercise regularly and enjoy a leisurely day’s spin on your bike. You might want to graduate to “intermediate” one day, or not. The pace is relaxed but the terrain gently rolling, more ups and downs, more vistas and valleys than Easy tours. Average distance per day: 35-45 miles.
Intermediate
intermediate You’re active on your days off, and recreational biking might even be your weekend sport of choice. You love to ride and it shows in your endurance and strength. A steady but active pace, with opportunities to push yourself and some challenging climbs, with great descents over rolling terrain. Average distance per day: 40-50 miles.
Expert
expert You crave vigorous pacing, challenging climbs and thrilling descents. You covet longer mileage with lots of hills and descents varying terrain, and a mountain pass or two only makes it better. Average distance per day: 45+ miles.
Family
family If you have kids under 16, we have great options for you! With fewer hotel changes, easier biking and wheels for all ages, we've got your ideal active family holiday. Average distance per day: 20–30 miles.
