The Experience
Before You Go

Bring a mini-tool & spare tube
Even with provided bikes, a chain tool and spare tube get you back on trail quickly after flats or minor mechanicals.
Layer for quick weather shifts
Temperatures can drop on ridgelines—pack a lightweight wind shell to stay warm on descents.
Hydrate and fuel for climbs
The tour includes sustained climbs; carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water and a salty snack to keep power steady.
