Chapeau Events say:
“This event is completely achievable for all levels of experience, whether you are a novice, intermediate or experienced cyclist, as long as you are committed to putting in the relevant training needed depending on your level. Chapeau rates this event a difficulty level 3 out of 8, which we class as “moderate” with longer days of saddle time and occasional steep descents/ascents on day one. You will be in the saddle for upward of 60 miles a day for 3 consecutive days, so you should ensure, as a minimum that you are comfortable riding a 50 mile day and have achieved this regularly before you leave for the trip. The profile on ride days mainly flat but undulating on occasions, so you will need to include some hilly rides in your training, especially if you are a novice cyclist.”
