How to

Every ride begins with preparation. The more you bring awareness, the more the land gives back.

  • Gear smart: Use low gears on climbs to preserve energy and keep a steady cadence. For speed on asphalt, opt for thin tires; for mixed terrain, choose wider ones with better grip.
  • Dress light, layer right: Choose breathable clothing, and always pack a waterproof jacket—mountain weather changes fast.
  • Stay safe: A helmet is essential. So is a basic repair kit—for flat tires, broken chains, or the unexpected.
  • Plan well: Check the forecast. Download route maps or use cycling apps to stay on track and discover local highlights.
  • Respect the land: Ride quietly, leave no trace, and yield to walkers, wildlife, and the slow rhythm of the road.
