| 3. What
is a normal cycling day like
We have organised our tours for people
who are in good physical condition whithout the need to be a professional
athlete. Motivation and a positive attitude towards team work is essential
. The guide establishes the maximum and minimum speed rates so as to accommodate
to all the cyclists within the group . This is very important when cycling
in high altitudes where thewre is a risk of high altitude sickness ( apunamiento)
. On flat ground the speed rate is aprox. 17 to 25 km/h. On mountain rides
, where the slopes are too steep , walking part of the road has been considered
an option. After breakfast we start cycling until lunch (aprox. 4 hs),
short breaks along the road have been organizad so you can enjoy the view
and rest and also allow the party to regroup . Lunch tkes about 1hour
. In the afternoon we carry on following the same pattern as in the morning.
During the breaks water, juice, hot drinks , snacks and energy boosters
such as energy bars , fruits and sweets are served. Those who feel like
it have the option to use the support vehicle.
