What distance each day/most days is cycled? I think also lots of climbs. And how fast one must cycle, can one walk up steep parts?

Average daily distance: 31mi (50km). Number of cycling days: 11 (including two half days). We advise that you have reasonably good fitness and are a confident cyclist, with some off-road cycling experience. Terrain is best described as rolling. You may ride as much or as little as you like. Weary cyclists are free to join the support vehicle. Typically, there are four to seven hours of riding each day.

Can you please provide details of the cycling - distances and elevation, as well as whether it's on or off road, and the bikes being used would be useful

I have included here the trip notes which will give you a detailed view on the day-by-day itinerary and what is included
