Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy, closed-toe footwear with a firm sole protects your feet during mounting and on varied terrain.
Bring sun protection
Sunscreen, a neck buff, and sunglasses are crucial—coastal glare and open beach sections amplify sun exposure.
Hydrate and carry a small bottle
Even on a 1h40 ride, bring water—morning rides reduce heat stress but coastal winds can dehydrate you quickly.
Declare medical and weight info
Provide accurate weight and any spinal or pregnancy concerns at booking; operators screen riders for safety.
Closed-toe shoes (riding boots or sturdy trainers)
