The Experience
Before You Go
Start early or late
Temperatures and sun are strongest midday—ride in the cooler morning or late afternoon to enjoy smoother wind and softer light.
Carry enough water
Some stretches lack services; carry at least 1–2 liters per person and a small pump or patch kit for flats.
Use the provided map
Routes are marked on a supplied map—follow it to avoid private land and to find cafe stops and shaded breaks.
Respect local roads
Many paths are shared with cars and tractors; ride predictably and yield to agricultural traffic and pedestrians.
