This tour includes:

Transport

We will be supported by air-conditioned vehicles that have been specially modified for cycle tours. The vehicles follow us most of the time, but there are a few sections where they cannot follow and they will meet us at the trail head. It is very easy to get bikes on and off, so you can rest when you are tired and cycle whenever you feel like it.
