The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate beyond the basics
Carry at least 2 liters of water or a hydration bladder—bottled water is provided but off-road sections have no vendors.
Protect your hands and seat
Cycling gloves and padded shorts reduce numbness on long dirt sections and during repeated braking.
Watch the weather window
Afternoon mountain showers are common; start early to finish before rains make trails slippery.
Ride with lower tire pressure off-road
Slightly lower pressure improves traction on laterite and rooty tracks—trust your guide for exact PSI.
