What do the levels mean?
The Level 1 (Beginner) rides are ideal for those who want to get back into cycling after a long time and get a taste of bicycle touring.

What does the DIY option mean?
Some of our routes are enabled for DIY consumption using a solution that provides virtual guidance and navigation. You will be able to navigate along the same route that we take you on a fixed-departure tour. You will get turn-by-turn navigation and map overlays that show you which are the scenic spots, where to get food and water, where to get emergency support if required, what obstacles are on the course, and which sections are tarmac, gravel, single-track etc. All the information and expertise that we bring with us when we take you on a ride are now available using an app. The information is available when you preview the route on the app as well as when you navigate (using clear and timely audio cues, almost like having a human guide with you!). The DIY experience of a particular tour is available for booking on the tour page itself. You can enjoy these DIY experiences whenever you want, you are not limited by our fixed-departure tour dates. Upon booking, you will be sent the information required to access the routes of the particular experience.
