How fit do I need to be?
We offer a range of tours designed for different fitness levels, so you will be able to find a tour that suits you. And because all our tours are self-guided you can set your own pace; there are no time limits, and you can stop when or where you like.

How far do I cycle each day?
Daily distances range from 16 to 72 miles, and there is some hilly terrain so some cycle training in advance of your holiday is recommended. Have a look at our Tours page to find which route suits you best.

What do I need to bring?
We recommend you bring sunglasses, cycling gloves; waterproof clothing; two pairs of shoes; cycle helmet; and casual clothes/accessories that you would normally bring on holiday.

Can I bring my own bicycle?
Yes, we recommend that hybrid touring bicycles are used on this tour, although road bicycles are suitable. Some routes go on unsealed tracks - please email or call if you have any questions about a specific route.

Can I hire a bicycle?
Yes, cycle hire can be arranged at the rate of £10.00 per day cycling. We supply hire of hybrid touring bicycles, arranged through a third party supplier, and you will need to arrive by 4.00pm on your first day to ensure your cycle is adjusted correctly for you.

How do I get there?
By car: drive to Wadebridge/St Just/Porthcurno.
By air: Flights to Newquay Airport from a range of destinations.
By rail: we can arrange transfers from Bodmin Parkway Station for the Cornish and North Cornwall tours, and from Penzance Station for the West Cornwall and Penwith tours.

How many people will there be on each tour?
A minimum group size of two people is required on self-guided tours. There is no maximum number, but for large groups (10 or more) we may have to arrange alternatives to our preferred accommodation. We can arrange tours for single cyclists but supplements will apply - please call for more information.

What weather are we likely to encounter?
Cornwall can be hot in the summer months; it can also be wet at any time of the year. Breathable fabrics are recommended, as are a comfortable set of lightweight waterproofs.

Are there any age limits?
This tour is not suitable for children under the age of 16. There is no upper age limit but a reasonable level of fitness is required.

Do I need travel insurance?
We recommend you have individual third party liability insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure you are adequately insured.
