À titre d'info, voici une échelle de niveau de difficultés.
The pictograms indicate the riding technique levels for all the tours. Evaluate yourself fairly (not too optimistically but with no false modesty, either). Then book a tour that is appropriate to your riding ability and choose the group that you are best suited to once the tour starts.
Level 1
Offroad: Gravel roads and field trails, alternating with single tracks. Without steep ascents or descents, and with the occasional detour on tarmac roads to pass off-road segments that are too extreme. Challenging and achievable!
Level 2
Offroad: Gravel roads with washouts and potholes, eroded open trails with occasional deep ruts, firebreaks, dried-up riverbeds, simple river crossings, single tracks without extreme ascents or descents.
Level 3
Offroad: Deeply rutted gravel roads, eroded open trails with water holes, single trails with tight turns as well as extreme ascents and descents, demanding river and stream crossings. In between, longer, simpler sections.
Level 4
Offroad: Rock ledges, loose rubble, deep sand, ruts, slippery surfaces: in combination with steep ascents or descents. Also on the itinerary: mud holes, steep slopes, slope traverses and passages that require courage and a cool head – a fast-riding tour with many challenges that must be overcome!
Level 5
Offroad: The most difficult off-road segments will be ridden in every kind of weather, even in rain or high temperatures. Due to the generally high level of difficulty, this level lacks longer, easier segments and the swift pace makes great demands on the riders’ physical fitness. The group truly needs team spirit to get through the tour.
