Your Typical Day

Each morning starts with a hearty breakfast and a full briefing covering the day’s route, terrain, and key details like meals, destination and what to do if you need assistance. You’ll ride independently or in small groups — this isn’t a convoy. Except on remote sections, you set your own pace, with the support crew always within reach if needed.

Riding typically runs from 8:30am to late afternoon, with stops to rest, refuel, and take it all in.  With over 4,000 miles to cover some days will inevitably be long with significant miles to cover – especially in Europe. We balance those with shorter days in the best locations, however with a long way to go you will need to be ready to get those miles done when needed.

Nights are spent in hotels or at campsites — sometimes wild camping under the stars. Wherever you are, the support vehicle ensures comfort, hot meals, and a place to unwind, whether that’s around a fire or in a bustling town.
