Notes: Our daily itinerary of cycling is designed to be a vacation, not a race! Our pace is relaxed in order to enjoy the scenery which is gently rolling terrain and some hills. We will cover an average of 20 to 25 miles a day. Advanced cyclists who want to do more are accommodated, and backup transportation and support is always available.
