Detailed itinerary

Long Phuoc was a fiercely disputed area

Once everyone is prepared, fitted to their bikes and ready to ride, we will depart on a
moderate-paced journey through the narrow and paved intra-village byways that make up
transportation hubs, criss-crossing the main highways.

Setting off from the starting point, we will visit a handful of short segments through golden or verdant rice paddies (depending on the season) that are particularly narrow and elevated for irrigation purposes. After quickly leaving them behind, the terrain becomes rolling inn nature and an experience of the Countryside along the edge of the lake. Before our first nutrition, we rode through rubber plantations on our bicycles.

After a relaxing stop for a much-needed water refill and cool healthy snack, we will continue through rolling and empty country roads under the shade of mature trees.
