All cycle rides are suitable for families.  The minimum age suggestion is in the key below, but this is only a guide: last year three 5 and 6 years olds completed a 60 mile cycle tour including an overnight stay at a youth hostel! 

Our cycle rides are not suitable for children on bicycles with stabilisers, but are fine for children in child seats, on trailers or riding a tandem.

Easy - suitable for all

Moderate - up to 20 miles

Difficult - up to 30 miles

Extreme - long and hilly

Cyclists should be capable of maintaining about 6 mph on flat paths.

Cyclists should be capable of maintaining about 8 mph on flat paths and understand the correct riding position on quiet roads.

Cyclists should be capable of maintaining 10-12mph on flat ground, be capable of cycling up short hills, and understand how to signal their intentions clearly to other road users.

Cyclists should be capable of maintaining 12-15mph on a flat road, cycle up substantial hills and understand how to cycle along a range of roads, including complex road junctions such as roundabouts and traffic light signals.
