The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate early and often
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water per person and refill where available — coastal heat can rise quickly.
Sun protection
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed cap under your helmet for late-spring to early-fall rides.
Check your bike fit
Confirm saddle height and brakes with the guide before leaving — a correct fit reduces fatigue on coastal climbs.
Respect park rules
Follow marked trails in Dilek Peninsula National Park and avoid disturbing wildlife or archaeological sites.
