You start on a quiet lane as the village wakes: motorbikes hum in the distance, roosters mark time, and the first light brings out the green of the terraces. Helmets on, tires crunch over packed earth, and the route eases you downhill through narrow lanes that thread past compound courtyards and wet paddy edges.
