Essential Eligibility Requirements for Biking Trips with ROW Adventures
Here at ROW Adventures, our first and foremost goal is for you to have an enjoyable and safe experience. While most of our trips are suitable for beginners, some of our trips are more active than others and it’s important that you understand the physical requirement of the trip you choose.
All of our multi-day biking trips are active adventures that involve some level of physical exertion and possible exposure to the elements including but not limited to wind, rain, heat, sun, cold temperatures and cold water conditions. Please speak with your Adventure Consultant if you think you will require any additional assistance while on the trip. We ask that you consult your doctor if you have health or medical conditions that could impact your ability to participate in an active and outdoor adventure. As your trip approaches, for your own safety as well as that of the entire group, we want to make sure that you can fulfill the following physical requirements of the trip:
- Wear all protective and safety equipment that is required by ROW Adventures and recommended/required by industry-wide standards.
- Load and unload, on their own or with the aid of a qualified companion, the bus and/or van providing transportation for ROW Adventures activities.
- Perform all biking activities, including following instructions on their own.
- The ability to make a quick and controlled emergency stop.
- The ability to start and stop on a hill.
- The ability to make controlled turns in tight corners.
- The ability to ride at 10-14 mph for extended periods of time (We simply can't do the distance of 47 miles in the allotted time otherwise.)
- Able to enter a van with an 18-inch step.
- Ability to climb 2-3 flights of stairs.
- Experience riding a bicycle for 2-4 hours at a time.
