To fully enjoy this Scotland guided cycling adventure, a good level of fitness is essential. During this Scotland guided cycling tour, you’ll be covering between 45 and 75 miles (72-120 km) daily, with daily cumulative elevation gain between 3,000 and 5,580 ft (700-1,700 m). Needless to say, you should be more than just a casual rider, going for regular weekend cycling sessions with riding that can last for much of the day. Uphill challenges and easier mountain passes excite you, and you’re equally comfortable descending as you are climbing. While not a professional racer, you can pick up the pace when needed and can skip occasional coffee breaks to stay on schedule. You’re adept at using clipless pedals, maintaining control of your bike effortlessly. Though you appreciate a full day of riding, you also crave local cultural experiences and savoring delicious cuisine.
Keep in mind that you will always have a guide by your side who will observe your technique, make breaks more often if necessary and even change the route if riding gets too strenuous for your group.
