Single Rooms

A limited number of single rooms are available. The rooms will be allocated in the order requests are received. All other accommodations are based on double occupancy.

There will be a $550 additional charge for each single room. Please email us as soon as possible if you would like a single room.

Too Tired to Pedal?

We can look after that too – there will be sag wagons if you decide you’ve had enough of that bike.

Bike repairs and CO2 cartridges

We have support vehicles (lead and tail), as well as bike mechanics who cycle alongside us. They are equipped to repair almost any breakdown on the spot within minutes.

CO2 cartridges are not allowed in your carry-on or checked luggage. All checked luggage going to Israel is x-rayed. If cartridges are found, they will be discarded, or cause your luggage to be delayed to a later flight. Either way, you do not require these.

Spare Parts You Should Bring

It is highly recommended that you bring extra cleats. We will not have the cleats you require in Israel and if your cleats break, which happens often, you will not be able to ride. If your bike has any unique parts that you are concerned you might need to replace in Israel, bring extras with you.

Morning Start Time

The ride will start each morning PROMPTLY at 8:00 or 8:30. It is important to start early to avoid cycling in the heat of the day.

Ride Pace

The ride will be split into groups, according to pace, daily kilometres and difficulty of terrain. The routes are now posted. All groups offer a quality ride for the varying levels of cyclists and you will not be disappointed.

For security reasons it is necessary that riders stay fairly close together with their group. At rest stops, a group will not be able to proceed until the entire group has arrived and had a chance to eat and drink.
