FAQs
Yes. You ride on country roads shared with cars, with switchbacks and turns. Because the route is almost entirely downhill, you need to be a competent, confident cyclist with experience using disc brakes. This tour is not for beginner riders.
Wear closed-toe shoes and dress in light layers. Bring sunglasses, sunscreen, water, and a camera. Bring cash for food, possible shopping, and singles for fruit stands. Bring a rain jacket if you have one (rain gear is also included), and consider a change of clothes for after the ride.
No. Meals are not provided. You can buy drinks and snacks at the shop, and you can get food during the stop at the taproom where food trucks are located next door (optional, on your own).
