FAQs
-
Chapeau events attract people of all levels of experience and fitness, all ages and backgrounds. There is an expectation that all participants will train hard in advance to achieve this challenge, but limitations will be respected.
You will be in the saddle for upward of 60 miles a day for two 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.
Whilst the profile for this event is mainly flat on ride day two, ride day one will be undulating terrain, so you should include some easy hilly rides in your training.

Chapeau (our booking and logistics partner) has rated this event 2/8 difficulty – Relatively Easy – slightly longer descents/ascents with occasional steeper spurts. They design their challenges so that everyone can go at their own pace; this is not a race. Further information regarding how Chapeau rates their challenges.
