After a short break mid morning, climb aboard our support vehicle to drive past a 30-min. uphill section after which we will find ourselves at the start of the actual “Death Road”. The next section will require to focus on the dirt track of which some sections are relatively smooth while others are rocky and uneven. Your guide will provide plenty of safety directions and we will keep a reasonable speed to stay safe at all times (we ride at our own pace always). There will be plenty of breaks at the most scenic spots along the road so you can focus on riding safely and enjoying the stops allowing the whole group to catch up.
