Layer for temperature swings
Mornings can be cool in the shade while ridgelines are hot—light jacket or windbreaker helps.
Follow the guide’s instructions
Remain seated and keep weight over the bike as directed to handle uneven terrain safely.

Conservation Note
Off-road activity can accelerate erosion—stick to established tracks, avoid wet-season churn, and support local guides who manage responsible routes.
The Taurus (Toros) range has long-separated the Mediterranean coast from the Anatolian Plateau; transhumant shepherding and trade routes have threaded these slopes for centuries.
