CYCLING
GRADING SCHEME CHART
Do not get tied up with the grading
scheme (described below) as most tours are vehicle supported, enabling you to
ride or rest when you wish. Some
fitness preparation should be undertaken for any activity holiday and regular
cycling should be enjoyed over several months prior to departure.
Please
give us a call if you would like to discuss any aspect of your tour.
