European tours advice

“The terrain is approximately 80 percent tarmac and 20 percent gravel cycling path, over an undulating route. This is a moderate cycling trip and on some day we ride up to 70km (averaging 56km per day) so you do need a reasonable level of fitness. However, there is a support vehicle on this trip in case anyone is tired, or just wants a break but doesn’t want to catch up. It is also worth noting that while we try to cycle on quiet roads wherever possible, there are some busy sections as well. Again, if someone does not feel comfortable with that, they can skip those parts and stay on the bus. We always say that some cycling practice beforehand doesn’t hurt, but it’s not essential if you’re reasonably fit.”

“We suggest cycling in the Baltics during May, June and September when the region tends to be less crowded and also not so hot. Another recommendation is to consider adding an extra day in the city where you begin or finish, such as Tallinn and Vilnius. These are beautiful capitals and one or two nights are not enough to fully get acquainted with them. The Seaplane Harbour museum in Tallinn and the KGB museum in Vilnius are sites worth visiting during those additional days.”
