What to bring: Recommended
personal equipment includes gloves, sunglasses, a pair of
mountain-biking shoes, or running/cross-country shoes (hard soles
reduce foot fatigue). Bicycle shorts and gear (if you do not have
padded cycling shorts, we recommend light cotton shorts with elastic
belts). We require participants to wear helmets. We can fit your SPD
shoes and pedals on our bikes if you bring them. Long-sleeve sweater
or jogging suit, windbreaker. T-shirts, packed in a soft bag we take
in the escort vehicle. Pullover for winter season, and light nylon
rain breaker (K-way type) for rainy season.
A small backpack would be
useful for small personal items, like cameras. For most trips, large
suitcases can be deposited in Chiang Mai (hotel or our office).
Helmets, gloves and a wide range of equipment can be purchased in
Chiang Mai. Anyone in a good physical condition can join our regular
cycling trips. Experienced bicycle riders will best enjoy them. If you
feel tired, you can always rest in the escort vehicle.
You don't have to carry
your belongings, so the trip is more fun! On request and subject to
space availability, noncycling accompanying persons are welcome to
join trip in our escort vehicle.
