Please don’t worry about anything you may have read. We are 100% legal. There are occasional roadblocks conducted by the Police and the Army close to international borders, and our experienced tour guides deal with these.
When riding, do you have to follow the tour guide?
Yes, this is mandatory on our tours, for safety and time keeping. We operate a lead and last policy, each rider will take turns to be the ‘sweeper’ bike at the rear of the pack and notify the lead guide bike of any problems/issues.
What kind of riding experience do I need to join Tour rides?
We welcome people of all abilities on the tour, but ideally you would have at least 5000 miles riding under your belt or have been riding at least 1 year. You should be able to keep a steady pace with the other riders as some days are longer than others and we require a good pace to reach our overnight accommodation.
How long will each day’s riding be?
This will vary depending on each tour and planned day’s route, some days will be longer than others, departure and arrival times could vary each day but on average we would look to set off at 8.30-9.00am and arrive at our hotel by 5.00-6.00pm. There will be rest stops and/or tourist attraction stops along the route.
