What is a good trip for a first time tripper?

You don't have to be an experienced cyclist to go on a trip. Most of the trippers on most of the trips have never been on any kind of bike trip before, and our trips are planned with this in mind. There are first-time trippers on all Gaia Trips. Don't feel that you should take the easiest trip just because you've never been on a cycling trip before - any person in good health can handle the cycling. What is more important to whether or not you'll love your trip is choosing a tour that is consistent with how energetic you want to be this summer.

How hard is the cycling?

Each trip description has a "cycling" rating, which will tell you the approximate overall level of physical challenge you can expect. This rating refers to the terrain rather than to the mileage covered. The distance on all except the challenging trips is usually 30-40KM each travel day. Sometimes the group will cycle more or fewer KM, depending upon the location of suitable overnight stops.

Do I have to know how to repair my own bike?

No. When you arrive at Gaia Trips, we'll check your bike to make sure that nothing went wrong in transit. The leaders are trained in basic bike repair and carry large tool kits and spare parts kits. Although the leaders are responsible for all bike repairs, trippers will assist leaders in repairing their bikes (and can learn about basic bike repair at the same time).

Can I take part in the activity if I don’t have a mountain bike?

Yes. If you don't have a bike, you can rental from Gaia Trips. We have high-quality 24 speed mountain bikes for rental. we also can transport for you, if you have your own bike.

Where will I sleep?

Gaia Trips use the best star-rated hotels in the towns and counties.

Will I be able to take hot showers?

Most of the places we use have indoor bathroom facilities with hot showers.

What kind of food will I eat?

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are included in the trip cost. Lunch will be sandwich or in some very good local restaurants for the one day trip such as Moganshan biking. Normally we will have dinner in the hotel we stay. People with special diets (vegetarian, diabetic, religious, etc.) usually can be accommodated – tell us to discuss it further. Most trippers buy snack food with their own money at check shops, since biking all day is the kind of exercise that creates huge appetites.
