You’ll get to explore amazing and beautiful places, have a blast on the trails with friends, gain confidence on and off your bike, get fit and strong, and so much more.
As someone just starting out, it can all feel a little overwhelming. But don’t let those uncertainties hold you back.

Depending on the level of the group and where you are staying in Bali, we can either run this course in the Tabanan countryside, close to Canggu or just above Ubud in the rice paddy fields area's.
