Charge & test the e-bike
Confirm the e-bike battery is full before you set off and take a brief practice spin on flat pavement to get comfortable with pedal-assist levels.
Bring sun protection
Wide-open hilltops offer little shade — sunscreen, a brimmed hat under the helmet, and sunglasses reduce fatigue and glare.
Hydrate for the day
Carry your provided water bottle and refill when offered during the lunch stop; rural stretches have limited potable sources.
Expect gravel and farm traffic
White roads are compacted gravel; use a lower assist gear on descents and yield to agricultural vehicles and livestock.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet on gravel roads and during short walks in town.
Light wind/rain layer
Weather can shift quickly in shoulder seasons; a packable shell keeps you comfortable.
spring
Sunglasses and sunscreen
High sun and reflective gravel increase exposure; protect eyes and skin.
summer
Small daypack
