Bike & Cycling Tour Grade Information

SELF-GUIDED INDEPENDENT CYCLING TOURS This is based on A being the hardest and D being the easiest. The grading is for the overall tour, please read the daily description for each days ride giving the approximate minimum distance and details of the route. A lot will depend on the weather conditions (a head wind for instance) and your level of fitness. This information is only to give you an idea of the type of surface and the terrain you will be riding on, also the type of bike best suited for the route. Some of our tours that are in-between; for instance a tour graded D that has one day including some moderate climbs will be graded D+
