I'm On Vacation

For riders who like to take it slow and easy…

Some cyclists like to ride slowly, explore leisurely, and stop often to smell the flowers and chat with people along the way. Others love to pedal hard and ride fast for miles and miles at a stretch. Don’t worry. The only “correct” speed on an ExperiencePlus! tour is the one that’s right for you!

Start by choosing a tour that roughly matches your level of fitness and the challenge you prefer. Beginner riders usually start with tours rated 101. For example, check out our easy-going 101 tours exploring the Castles of the Loire Valley, Venice-to-Florence, and Osa Peninsula. Keep in mind that most beginner riders can actually handle a 201 tour—though you might shuttle uphill once in a while…then coast down the other side!

Great coaches make it easier

Our tour leaders are all accomplished cyclists and great teachers. If you’d like to learn how to shift gears more efficiently and make the hills easier, they can show you how. You’ll also find lots of great tips here on our website about nutrition, clothing to bring along, easy training to get in shape…you name it.

No pressure!

Regardless of the tour you choose, there’s never any pressure to keep up with the group. Ride at your own pace. Enjoy the scenery. Here comes another café!  How about another café au lait?
