What sort of cycling experience do I need?
VéloRoo Adventures are not about setting the fastest time, but having the best time!
If you are comfortable and have some experience riding in a group, you’ll be fine. Our adventure peloton sizes range from around 8 – 12 people.You need to be comfortable riding at least 50 kilometres in a day. The area around Crows Nest is not mountainous, but undulating. We’ve researched the best routes to navigate the hilly countryside.
There’s no mountain biking rocks and jumps, but by their nature, unpaved roads can offer soft or loose gravelly sections or areas that may have some slight erosion after seasonal weather.
What sort of bike do I need?
You will need something that can handle dirt and gravel roads: a Gravel Bike, Mountain Bike or Electric Mountain Bike. Give us a call to discuss the suitability of your bike if you are unsure.
Bike Hire available
If you don’t have your own bike that’s suitable for the gravel riding, don’t worry!
We have gravel bikes for hire, just contact us for more details. We can also arrange for e-bike hire.
