F.A.Q.

How far do we ride each day?

 

Each stage of IBERICA CTC 2012 covers an average of 160 Km per day.

Each stage of PIRINEO CTC 2012 averages 130 Kms per day, due to hillier terrain.

 

What speed the stages are ridden at?

IBERICA Coast to Coast is a ride, not a race, meaning a bicycle ride among friends. That doesn’t mean the we ride always slow or at race pace. We all know the enjoyment can be found climbing a hill at full speed or slowly talking to some biking friends.

 

Each one of the riders will have a detailed cue sheet that allows them to choose whether to ride alone or in small groups. The support crew is there to help you have the best quality bicycling vacation, so we will be at the rest stops to provide support to both, slow and fast riders of each group.

 

 

Do I have to carry panniers on the bike?


No, this trip includes luggage transfer so you can ride without extra weight on your bicycle.






 

 

How many rest stops will there be during the stages?

 

Typically, there will be three rest stops per day. The second will be more plentiful and will be at lunch time. The food will be suitable for riding and any food that you can suggest, we will try to find it on route.

 

How do I get to the start of the ride?

 

You are responsible to get to the start of the ride. However, the first 8 riders that ask for a transfer to the start from Segovia and from the finish back to Segovia, will be able to go in IBERICA CTC vehicles for an extra amount of 75 €. 

 

How do I do the laundry during the trip?

 

Since all our hotel stays are only for one night, they can not wash our clothes. Occasionally, in rainy days, we would arrange for them to get our clothes clean, but normally is the rider who is in change of doing the laundry.

 

 

How do the non cycling companions get transferred to the daily activities?

 

The non cycling companions will have a vehicle with a guide that will drive them to their activities during the day and meet with the rest of the group in the afternoon.

Occasionally, our non cycling friends will be able to see the rides at certain points during the rides.

 

 

What is the price of the trip for the non cycling companions?  

 

Each non cycling companion in IBERICA CTC 2012 ride will be charge 950€.
