Charge and conserve
Start with a full e-bike battery and use lower assist on flats and descents to ensure power for climbs and photo stops.

Sunscreen and water
Open fields offer little shade—bring sunscreen and at least 1 liter of water per rider for a 3–4 hour loop.

Stay on mapped roads and paths; many fields are active farmland and protected as part of the UNESCO landscape.
