Touring
Riders begin with the Road group until the first pit stop, usually about 20 km/12 miles. Riders can then choose to join a tour or continue riding to lunch - usually another 20 km/12 miles. The rest of the group - non-riders will have daily guided tours and will join the road group for lunch. In the afternoon we will either have a second short tour or a one hour hike.
Tentative Plan
Riders: 18 km/11 miles
