Morning light in the Central Highlands hits the pine-lined roads of Da Lat like a cold finger, and the first pedal stroke is an answer to that chill. Riders head northwest by AC support van to Di Linh, then set off on a route that drops from the cool highland plateau toward the tropical coast—approximately 70 km of mixed climbs, rolling flats and long descents.

Hydrate early and often
Start with at least 1–1.5 L in a hydration bladder and top up bottles at the van—heat increases quickly as you descend toward the coast.
Layer for temperature swings
Bring a light windbreaker for the cool highland start and a breathable jersey for the warmer lowlands.
Inspect helmet and brakes
Although helmets and bikes are provided, check brake feel and helmet fit before leaving Di Linh—long descents demand reliable equipment.
Respect village speed and photo etiquette
Slow in settlements, ask before photographing people, and avoid riding on soft rice-field edges to prevent damage.
Hydration pack or 1.5L bottles
Keeps you watered across long downhill and lowland heat where stops may be spaced out.
summer
Padded cycling gloves

Light windproof jacket

Spare tube / basic repair kit
Even with support vehicle, a quick roadside change keeps you rolling and on schedule.
