Road Bike Tour Fitness Ratings

While every Escape Adventure trip is designed to appeal to active adventure seekers, and in many cases, particular skill levels, there is always a different idea of what that exactly means. That is why we have designed the chart below to help facilitate the process and make sure you join the proper tour. We know your pace may vary from one day to the next—and your traveling companions’ may differ as well. In addition to the chart below, it is important to know that we present a range of mileage options on each tour as well as provide support vehicles as much as possible. That way you can take a break and do as little or as much as you would like each day.
