and the answer is.....?
and rather than saying "lower intermeiate" or "beginner", how would you describe a tour for (relative) beginners? no-one wants to be a "beginner" or "novice"....
how would you describe a tour for (relative) beginners?

We went for "Alpine First-timer". Quite easy to describe yourself as such if it's the first time you've been to the Alps! Mountain Bike is 2 words, defo.
yup, Mountain Bike. Roadies don't ride roadbikes as far as I know 😉
FFS, what wrong with beginner or novice, grow a set!!!
You could try 'future expert' or 'possible world champion' both of which are as ridiculous as your suggestions.
Moun Tain Bike it would appear ...
no-one wants to be a "beginner" or "novice"....
I lead a beginner ride every Saturday, and get all levels of riders from clueless numpties to trail gods. I lean to the former description.

And so continues the constant trend of pandering to stupid whims and stupid naming. File such things in the bin, for the refuse collection and removal technical assistant, and just call them beginners.
i agree with much of the above, but when you're trying to sell a package/tour people will be put off by the terminology: "beginner".
Alpin I think the only people who will be put off a package/tour for "beginners" will be those people who AREN'T!! when I was looking at going to Morocco I was looking for everything that didn't say beginners as I'm not I'm expert and wanted riding to reflect my standard.
What about have a wheel system (MTB Tyre and Wheel) to grade the routes?
1 Wheel, easy to Moderate (or wuss routes)
5 Wheels.. Mega Avalanche type thing in reverse
