Cykling

There is no doubt about it, getting out on the open road on a bicycle is one way of getting healthy. It’s not only that, you can travel at your own pace, stop when you want to revive the body (especially after ascending rather large hills!), and, breathe in the fresh air. I am just about up for a new Mountain Bike but somehow I can’t see me managing to ascend hundreds of feet up a mountainside or take on jungle tracks on two wheels now that I am a tad older! Nowadays I much prefer cycling the streets. Everywhere you go in Indonesia you will see the locals and some tourists getting out on the road and peddling. There are places in the tourist strip where you can hire bicycles and even some of the up market hotels have them for hire. In Bali, there is specialized tour groups that can take you around the island in safety, show you places you never thought were there, and on top of that, these groups generally supply you with lunch and drinks. If you are the super-healthy and adventurous type then there are also those groups that specialize in the areas of rugged terrain.

PROGRAM:

Introductory trips; this level is for those with little or no off-road experience. The vast majority of young people can participate and succeed at this level. On the introductory level, you’ll find a gentle progression toward more technical trails and skills.
 

 Intermediate trips; at this level some trail experience or fairly good athletic ability is important. If you don’t have experience when you sign up, you can spend weekends in the spring getting used to riding off road before your trip starts. We start with moderate trails and the trip will progress faster than the beginner level

Advanced trips; On this level solid mountain bike skills and good athletic ability are required for the safety and enjoyment of you and your group. We ride more advanced and extended trails which require greater perseverance and finesse. These trips are not for new mountain bikers; experience on the trails is a prerequisite.
