The Experience
Before You Go
Charge and test batteries
Confirm e-bike battery levels and do a short test ride before setting off to ensure range for the full 6-hour loop.
Hydrate and shade up
Bring 2+ liters of water and a sun hat—exposed ridgelines can be hot and wind-exposed even when coastal air feels cool.
Tire prep
Run slightly lower tire pressure for traction on rocky singletrack but carry a pump and puncture repair kit.
Respect private land and sheep tracks
Yield when local shepherds or flocks are on the route and stay on marked trails to avoid erosion.
