Grading

MODERATE to CHALLENGING – GRADE 4
The cycling is moderate to challenging (4) grade with daily cycles of around 27 to 78km / 15.5 to 45mi. The route is mostly flat and the cycling is mainly on roads with little traffic and cycle paths - only very short distances are cycled on roads with more traffic. The accent is on keeping a steady pace with time to stop and take photos (subject to weather conditions). You will need a good level of cycling fitness to participate fully in this adventure. Faster riders can cycle more kilometres on Day 7 instead of taking the train journey from Jurmala to Riga.

What You Carry

During the cycle day you will carry your daily requirements. This may include your lunch, wet weather gear, mobile phone and water. A small daypack is useful for sightseeing. Rental of waterproof panniers available.

Mode of Transport

Travel includes a hybrid bike rental with helmet, handlebar bag, and one tachometer per two bikes. Transfers include a taxi or public transport if needed, and a train ticket from Jurmala to Riga.
