Biking Tours

The best time to take a biking tour is during the spring and summer months. Winter will see the roads covered with a blanket of snow and possible snowstorms. Whereas come summer, the roads are clear and the weather is more favourable to cycling.

It is advised that you bring with you a mixture of clothing to suit the day’s activities. Traditional lycra wear and padded pants are an excellent recommendation, as are sturdy shoes and sunglasses. Bring warm clothing for when you stop, and especially if you are taking a later ride.

Make sure to bring bottled water, light and energy-driven snacks, your camera and, of course, a thirst for adventure. For longer biking tours, you’ll need to bring 1-2 days worth of food and camping gear.
