Day 1 - Your group will meet at Denpasar Airport in the afternoon, then transfer to the historic city of Ubud, tucked away in the central foothills. After dinner we will get the bikes setup and preview the fun to come.

Day 2 - Descend to the coast, stopping to explore Goa Gajah, the elephant cave and the rock carvings of Bedulu. We ride through Klungkung town, with its moated gardens from an ancient palace, then cycle along the coast to former fishing village of Candi Dasa, where we relax tonight. 47 mi / 75 km

Day 3 - Its a short day of cycling, with some moderate climbs. You'll start with a side trip to Tenganan, a Bali Aga village, that stills follows the ancient traditional ways.
