FAQs
Ideal bike: Without a doubt, a full-suspension bike is the most suitable for this type of route.
Tires: Versatile tires are the most appropriate, as there are many different surfaces (rock slabs, paths, steps, tracks, loose rock sections, cobblestones, singletrack, etc.). This is an area with a lot of vegetation and fairly narrow trails: local bikers use tubeless tires or inner tubes with sealant.
Orientation: The route is tracked using a GPS tracker. The organizers also provide participants with a route map with points of interest along the stages, including restaurants, accommodations, etc.
Best time: It can be done year-round, but spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons; summer is often hot, but the route is largely shaded, along paths and bushwalks.
Type of roads: There are many challenging and technical trails and paths, both uphill and downhill. Depending on your technical skills and strength, the route is 95% rideable. There are some uphill sections and downhill sections that require a certain level of skill.
Philosophy: This is a self-guided, non-competitive tour; the important thing is to enjoy mountain biking in its purest form.
Luggage transport: Given the technical nature of the route, it is highly recommended to book this service. The price depends on the number of people and the stages of the route.
Mechanical assistance: The organization offers support services on the road.
Supplies: At each stage, you will pass through one or more villages where you can stop to eat and get water.
