Hydrate before you start
Fill a 1–1.5 L water bottle—e‑bike assist reduces fatigue but climbs still dehydrate you quickly at altitude.
Layer for quick weather shifts
Bring a lightweight waterproof and an insulating midlayer; conditions can swing from sun to sleet in under an hour.
Practice basic bike handling
Be comfortable with short, loose descents and singletrack; guides can coach you but basic balance helps on rocky sections.
Charge your devices
Bring a fully charged phone and consider a small power bank for extra photos or emergency calls.
Helmet
Protective helmets are usually provided but bring your own for a better fit and hygiene.
Hydration pack or 1–1.5L bottle
Sustained climbing at altitude requires consistent fluid intake.

Trail shoes or flat‑pedal mountain bike shoes
Good traction and stiff soles improve control on mixed terrain.
