Riding Experience

Each day - two groups - three choices

You can bike with the short/slow group or the long/faster group. The short group rides about 20 - 30 miles per day and the long group 30 - 45 miles. If you don't want to bike any day, you just ride the barge. The pace is really called a "social ride" adjusted to see the sights, take pictures and enjoy the coffee and bakery stops. Each group has a Dutch guide. It is recommended that you should be able to ride a bike for one hour and cover at least ten miles.
