Indonesian language instruction is included naturally into the activities of the day. You’ll experience Indonesia as it really is. Daily rides are 60 – 100 km, depending upon terrain. Rides are planned with flexibility to allow for spontaneous stops to explore whatever. On most days swimming is available and optional yoga classes are held after the day’s ride and before dinner. The support vehicle drivers speak English and a mechanic looks after the bikes. Food is Sulawesi style modified Indonesian - rice, fish, vegetables for main meals. Village cakes and fruits-in-season at the stops. Colin Freestone.
