Physical:
The SEAL Cycle Safari is as physically challenging as the individual riders choose it to be i.e. - the group will progress at the pace of the slowest member. We ride circuitous routes so there is no hurry or need to get anywhere fast.
A base fitness level is recommended - the fitter the rider the more the enjoyment. A fitter riding group will get to see more of the terrain and wildlife.
The SEAL Cycle Safari is definitely open to people of all fitness levels and the SEAL Rangers cater accordingly in their setting the pace for the cycle groups.
