FAQ's

 

WHERE WILL I BE RIDING? Our road cycling tour routes take you on a scenic journey along country roads with very little traffic as far as possible. Roads in Andalucia are mostly smooth and a delight to ride. We design all our routes so that you will have time after your cycling to relax and enjoy each overnight location. WILL I BE FIT ENOUGH? Our tours are designed for cyclists who enjoy the great outdoors and are looking for a few challenging hills, rather than cycling experts or people looking for large daily mileage and ascent. There are hills throughout the region but we keep daily distances manageable, particularly on days with more hills.  Anyone who is reasonably fit and happy to be on a bike for 4+ hours a day will enjoy this tour.

WILL MY LUGGAGE BE TRANSFERRED? No need for panniers or trying to pack light and risk leaving important items behind. We transfer your main luggage for you so you just take a few items for each day – water, snacks, and sunscreen. We provide an 8-litre capacity rear trunk bag. CAN I DO THIS LEISURE CYCLING TOUR WITH A GUIDE? We can offer a guided version of this tour with qualified guides and support vehicles or a semi-supported version with a support vehicle and driver who is a qualified guide.  There is a minimum person requirement of 4 to be able to provide this service.  Please do not hesitate to enquire about price and availability.

HOW WILL I NAVIGATE THE TOUR?   For self-guided cycling, we provide a GPS application on your mobile phone.  We give free access to the application which can be used in offline mode for each day's ride. The application shows maps and the route in great detail.  We also supply quality phone holders on the bike to keep your phone safe. We also provide a large-scale, annotated map, designed specifically for your tour by Hike and Bike, giving you a perspective of where you are at all times.
