Bottled water can be purchased in all towns. We carry several six gallon jugs to keep a supply of clean fresh water available. Your bike should have the capacity to carry a minimum of 2 bottles. The roads are paved and for the most part in very good shape. A mountain bike with slicks or a road bike will do.
Bike shops are far and few between.
Our van will carry a comprehensive set of tools. If you bring a bike box, we'll store it. Cyclists are given a map and mileage log each day so they can ride at their own pace. These logs will inform you where you can find food and water. Helmets are mandatory.
