it's really easy, anyone who can ride a bike (i'm talking basic skills) can do it. the road itself isn't really very steep. It's pretty much downhill all the way, so exhaustion won't be a problem unless you have major health problems.
Go with one of the more expensive companies (i went with gravity) who are more organised and have full sus/disc brake bikes. Saw some pretty crappy things around and having decent brakes is handy when there's a 300m cliff off one side and no rail.
