What are rest days?

Typically our ‘weeks’ on the tour are anywhere from 3 – 8 riding days long. On our longer tours, these riding weeks are normally on the longer side. These are followed by a day off the bike, normally in a touristic hotspot or a comfortable relaxing place to rest your sore muscles. The term ‘rest’ can be misleading as many riders fill their day with sightseeing, laundry, internet, and other activities. On the night of arrival to a rest town and during the rest day there are no group meals.
