General Information:-
Terrain and roads. Most of the roads are good quality tarmac, although we will be using some lanes where the surface may not be perfect. Most of the routes are hilly, there are not many flat roads. Traffic will be busy in Cocentaina and other towns but quiet in most other areas.
Accommodation and meals:-
Accommodation will be in a comfortable guest house. Meals are set meals, but can be flexible, with allergies etc. catered for if we know in advance..
Travel and transfers:-
Transfers will be arranged as soon as we know numbers and arrival/departure times. If your inward flight is delayed, we will endeavour to collect you when we can, but you may have to wait at the airport. For long delays you may have to make your own way to Cocentaina.
Weather and clothing:-
The weather is in the hands of the Gods. It can be warm at this time of year, unlikely to be hot. But it could occasionally be cool and wet. You should ensure that you have adequate clothing to cover all eventualities. We will check the forecast each day and may amend the itinerary accordingly. It is compulsory to wear a hi-viz jacket in poor visibility, and helmets are compulsory in Spain.
Navigation:-
The rides will be accompanied. We will provide GPS files if required. The group will always meet up at coffee stops, points of interest etc. If you wish to have your own map, the Michelin Zoom Series, number 123, Costa Blanca and 149 Valencia are usually available at W.H.Smiths etc. in the UK.
Bicycle and equipment:-
Ensure that your bicycle is in good condition, especially tyres and brakes. You should carry spares, a pump and a simple tool kit to cope with punctures and minor repairs. A road bike or light mountain bike will be suitable for this holiday. Hire bikes are available and we can provide details of hire shops.
Health and insurance:-
As well as an EHIC (or new GHIC) card, (UK travellers only), you must have travel and health insurance. It is strongly recommended that you take out insurance on booking your holiday, so that if you need to cancel, you may be able to claim the cancellation charges.
