Hardcore Hayduke

Can it be done? Yes it has been done and it is awesome, but it is not for the timid cyclist. Our 9-Day Hardcore Hayduke option (8-days of riding with a weather contingency day) averages 55-miles per day on dirt and as a result is only for cyclists who have previously ridden this type of mileage on consecutive days. Expect to pedal for about 6 hours per day not including rest time. On this route there is not a rest day, but there happily is a support vehicle! So if one becomes entirely knackered, they can jump in the truck and make it to the next camp. On the Hardcore Hayduke breakfasts will be early so riders can roll out with the morning sun. The Hardcore is rated level 4 and as such it is the hardest tour type we offer.

NOTE: Clients must have experience on a similar length road or dirt tour to ride the Hardcore Hayduke. Five of the Hardcore's stages are the dirt equivalent of 100-mile days on the road.
