Level 1 and 1.5 bicycle tours

Take a leisurely ride

For those desiring gentle rides and an easier bicycle tour with a limited amount of climbing.

Our level 1 and 1.5 tours will generally include lower mileage days between 20 – 45 km (12 – 30 miles). These easy bicycle tours are suitable for beginner cyclists, those traveling by bicycle for the first time, or multi-generational groups with a desire for a nice and easy bike tour with plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery. 

  • Average daily mileage: 15-45km. Reminder, this is an average so some days on some tours might be longer. We always recommend checking daily ride details for specifics.
  • Terrain: Mostly flat with occasional gentle climbs at a grade of less than 3%, that are sustained for a maximum of 3km. There might be steeper climbs but generally they will be very short.
