You Can Enjoy A Cycling Tour Even If You Are A Beginner With A Bicycle

by Katie Hart

You may have thought that the idea of hitting the open road or pathways on a bicycle would make a dream vacation. It might also be true that you are not an experienced cyclist and think that you can never handle a bike for the length of time it would take to complete the tour. You can still enjoy a cycling tour even if you are a beginner if you follow a few tips:

Guided Tour

You are able to choose between guided or unguided cycling tours depending on your experience and preference. It might be a good idea if you are a beginner cyclist to pick a tour that is guided. A guided tour means you aren't alone with just you or one other person for example, and instead all riders stay together. A guide will ensure everyone is able to keep up by making a pace that suits all. It is also an advantage to be on a guided tour if you worry about language barriers or getting lost. If you do wish to take an unguided tour, then you can pick one on a dedicated bike path where you don't have to worry about cars and is well-marked.

Your Ability

If you haven't been cycling long, or you aren't at a fitness level where you are able to handle hills and long stretches of riding easily, then you should choose a tour that suits your ability and fitness level. You should know that even if you are in great shape and head to the gym on a regular basis, biking might be a challenge for you. So, if you are a beginner to cycling, don't pick a tour that heads into the mountains or takes place over several weeks as an example. If you are determined to take a longer tour, then start training for it a few months in advance, riding several times a week.

Tour Distance

When you think of booking a cycling tour, think about how long you actually want to be on the bike each day. There are many tours in which almost the majority of the trip is spent riding along, while others take their time and take in wineries, castles, or other interesting sights along the way. Keep in mind many tours keep their guests riding every day for several hours a day so make sure you pick the one that bests suits what you are looking for on a trip.
