Our bike tours vary greatly — from smooth asphalt rides to rural gravel roads, from steady climbs to challenging mountain switchbacks.
To help you understand what to expect before joining, we created a CCN-specific difficulty system.
Difficulty is defined by:
- Surface type
- Elevation gain
- Total distance
- Traffic load
⬤ Very Easy (Yellow)
Flat asphalt or simple gravel. 15–30 km. Very low traffic probability.
⬤ Easy (Green)
Asphalt or simple gravel with small climbs. Elevation gain up to 200 m. 30–60 km. Low traffic.
⬤ Moderate (Orange)
Asphalt or gravel requiring basic handling skills. Elevation gain 500–600 m. 30–70 km. Moderate traffic.
⬤ Hard (Red)
Challenging climbs and descents on asphalt or gravel. Elevation gain 1000–2000 m. 50–170 km. Traffic depends on the route.
⬤ Very Hard (Blue)
Mountain switchbacks, steep climbs, technical terrain. Requires strong endurance and advanced bike handling. Elevation gain 1500–3500 m. 70–250 km.
Even if you think a difficulty level doesn’t match your abilities, don’t be afraid to try. If not on the first attempt, you’ll succeed on the next!
