The ride begins on a dusty lane where the air tastes faintly of sun‑baked earth and the low slopes wear rows of vines like regimented green stripes. Riders mount quiet electric bikes and glide away from the camp, the motor gently pushing them up old tracks while cardinals flit between cactus and vineyard, their calls punctuating the valley.
