For people who have done a bike tour before ... we are thinking about doing a bike tour in Scotland in June to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Still looking for an appropriate tour. We are both competitive short course triathletes with many years experience in both tri and marathons.
- We have never ridden traditional road bikes before. Is it reasonable to expect that we can hop on a rented road bike with minimal problems?
- I don't really want to go through the hassle of flying with our tri bikes, is it worth it or should we just rent road bikes from the tour company?
- We aren't really "group ride" kind of people. What have your experiences been with group tours or should we do self guided?
- Any other tips for us?
