The Riding - 190 km/118 miles total: Cycling on this tour is primarily along rural roads, canal pathways or quiet city streets. The riding is achievable for anyone who bikes occasionally as a commuter or recreationally on the weekends. The few times it is necessary to bike on busier roadways you will find that drivers beep their horns, just to let you know of their presence, The terrain in the Mekong Delta and in and around Hue and Hoi An is mostly flat with occasional small hills. Our route also takes us up and over Hai Van Pass, with vehicle assistance available. The pass is a sustained climb of 10km with a lovely descent of the same length immediately after. The gradient is not overly steep, and once you find a rhythm, it's an enjoyable ride with some great views.
