RECOMMENDATION

Although the trail will mostly lead you through populated areas and you will drive on an asphalt road, it is always advisable to be prepared for all situations, especially on longer rides. Therefore, in addition to being on an asphalt section, don't forget to bring a mini tool and an inner tire patcher. These rules also apply to this section so you can be prepared for possible technical difficulties during the ride.

Also, we advise you to inform your family or friends about your plans before going on a cycling adventure. That way, in case of any unforeseen circumstances, someone will be aware of your movements and where you are.

Don't forget that a helmet is mandatory!
