Before you set off
Just a few details to get started.
When you contact me, tell me what kind of ride you'd like, your level, the bike you have, the number of riders, how long you'd like to ride and your availability. If you already have a route or an idea, we can use that as a starting point.
Questions you may still
have.
What level do I need to join a ride?
The ride is adapted to your ability. When planning, we'll discuss your cycling experience, habits and goals so we can choose the right route.
Do I need to bring my own bike?
You can bring your own bike if it's suitable for the ride and in good condition. If needed, we can discuss the best option beforehand.
How long does a ride last?
It depends on your plans, ability and chosen route. An introductory ride, a challenging ride and a longer day out are all different experiences.
Can I book alone, as a couple or in a small group?
Yes. Rides can be arranged for individuals, couples or small groups, depending on your plans.
Can the routes be customised?
Yes. The route is created around your ability, interests, type of bike, available time and the area you'd like to explore.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We check the conditions before the ride. If it's not safe or comfortable to ride, we'll review the arrangements together.
What equipment do I need?
You'll need a suitable bike in good condition, comfortable clothing and drinking water. We'll confirm the specific requirements before the ride.
What's the difference between road cycling and gravel?
Road cycling focuses on tarmac and paved routes. Gravel combines roads, tracks and trails according to your technical ability and preferences.
Can you help me plan a bikepacking or multi-day trip?
Yes. I can help plan the route, daily stages, equipment, luggage and self-sufficiency to create a realistic trip.
