Taking a sea to sea bike tour is a fascinating journey, you get to see some of the most beautiful scenery and test your physical abilities to their limits. Taking a sea to sea bike tour with a friend or your family is a sure way to strengthen bonds and create a closeness that you will remember for years to come. There are certain things that you should think about before embarking on this cycling tour. Preparation is key to ensuring that your cycling holiday goes as smoothly as possible and you enjoy yourself.
Preparing Physically
Physical fitness is key to ensuring you have a good sea to sea bike tour. You should be able to cycle about ten miles daily without feeling exhausted and sore all over. Of course you don’t have to cycle the ten miles at a go, you can easily break up the distance into manageable chunks. Don’t rush it, take your time, you want to enjoy this. Unless you are in tiptop physical condition and are used to cycling long distances take frequent breaks. There are many interesting places to stop along your sea to sea bike tour, so don’t rush it unnecessarily.
Accommodation
Different people choose to do their sea to sea bike tour differently. Some camp along the way while others choose to stay at hotels or bed and breakfasts along the way. When considering the first option remember that all you will have your camping gear with you all the time and that it will be an added weight while you cycle. Get used to the weight of your camping gear prior to taking your trip. The more in advance you get used to the weight the better.
If you are planning on staying in a hotel plan your route carefully and book in advance where possible. Don’t leave it to chance, you might find yourself stranded with no place to stay in the case of no vacancies. Booking in advance also allows you to pay ahead of time and minimize the amount of cash you carry with you. You don’t want to carry more cash than is necessary.
Who to Bring
A sea to sea bike tour can be an incredibly rewarding experience to share with people you love but not everyone can handle it. Unless your loved ones are also fit, don’t bring them along. The journey will be taxing on them and you and there is a danger of someone falling sick or injuring themselves. Consider bringing children, especially young children, very carefully. Not all children can handle the demands of such a journey and you should wait till they are old enough.
