You start on a narrow village lane as morning light slants across rice dikes and canal water that seems to move with intent, daring you to keep up. Bikes rattle to life and you roll past wooden homes, banana groves and boats tied like patient dogs to the riverbank. The breeze carries the scent of wet soil and cut grass as a small local ferry nudges across the river, a practical, noisy interruption to the pedal rhythm.
