How Hard Is It, Really?

One honest guide to distance, climbing and how long you will be on the bike.

The Short
Version

Numbers are a normal day on that level, stops not counted. If you can ride the first two thirds of it at home, you can ride it with us.

Things People
Ask at Km 30

Can I switch level mid-ride?

Yes. The van carries you past any stretch, and the leader will shorten a day on the spot.

Are electric bikes allowed?

Yes, on every level. Tell us when you book so the van can carry a charger.

What if I am the slowest?

Someone always is. One ride leader stays at the back, and lunch waits for the last rider.

How much should I train?

Enough to ride the first two thirds of a normal day on your level. A few long weekends will do it.

Hungry Yet?

Sicily rolls out on 8 November.
