You do not need a suitcase full of specialist gear to enjoy a guided ride. A few well-chosen essentials will keep you comfortable, ready for the weather and free to enjoy the scenery.
Comfort comes first
Choose lightweight, breathable clothing and shoes that stay securely on your feet. Padded cycling shorts can make longer days more comfortable. Bring a light layer for rest stops and transfers.
Plan for sun and changing weather
Pack sunscreen, sunglasses and a light rain layer. A reusable water bottle is useful, and your guide can help you plan refills and breaks along the route.
Keep your day bag small
Bring your phone, any personal medication, a little cash and the essentials you want within reach. Protect valuables from rain and avoid carrying more than you need.
For an overnight journey
Add comfortable evening clothes, toiletries and charging cables. Confirm the luggage arrangements and included equipment with your operator before you travel.
Ask before you pack
Bike and helmet arrangements depend on the tour. Check sizing, pedal preferences and any special equipment needs in advance so that your first morning can be about riding.
