ITINERARY

HO CHI MINH CITY – TIEN GIANG – RIDE 50-60 KM - LUNCH

Full day fun ride with a professional cycling guide to explore Mekong villages and Rice Paddies, stretching your legs for 50-60km of flat riding. A FREE LOW of signature Mekong craft beer and local dishes will also be the highlight of your trip before we take you back to Saigon in an air-conditioned vehicle! 

We will pick you up at around 07:00 for a 90 mins transfer to start off our cycling experience. Arriving at our favourite local cafe, we will have time to ensure that your bicycle is properly fitted and you are acquainted with it.

The cycle tracks of the journey are an equal mix of mud and gravel, with a handful of wider gravel and paved lanes. The paths through the rice paddies are particularly narrow and elevated for irrigation purposes. There are water stops in every 15km with cold drinks and fresh fruits will be provided by our team.

After our 50 km of riding, we have an option for our less experienced riders to take a shuttle to our finishing destination in lieu of continuing to ride, our transport vehicle and a private shuttle will be standing by to ensure that you have all the support you might need to thoroughly enjoy your day. Bike lovers will keep conquering the 12km extra.

We will all meet up at a local craft brewery, the first and only in the region, where they make some very distinctive and culturally-appropriate flavours of beer; one of our favourites to try is the Pho-flavor, but they also have IPAs, Stouts, Cherry, Hibiscus, and even Whiskey flavours for your enjoyment, we will have a chance to visit this brewery during our time here.

After a relaxing lunch and adult beverage enjoyment, we will say goodbye to the Mekong and hop back into our private transport vehicle for a 90 mins drive back to HCMC.

Arrival in HCMC at approximately 18:00 -18:30

Things to think about:

Even though we provide modern bikes and safety gear, we understand that sometimes customers wish to have their own personal items. We would suggest customers bring their own helmet and cycling gloves for comfort. Regardless of if you are using one of our high-quality bikes or your own, we recommend taking advantage of a personal bike fitting session available 48 hours before the onset of the expedition. All bikes will be labelled with the rider's name so that you have the same bike each day and ensure the safety of your journey.

Transportation arrangements:

Whenever possible, we will cycle completely from the day's outset to the final destination with limited transfers. Our core belief is that cycling is an act of empowerment for both the rider and the community and we strive to provide the most meaningful and immersive cycling experience for our guests. However, as noted in certain itineraries, we will occasionally use our comfortable and modern 16-seater minivan to transport guests safely to either the beginning or end of the day's route.

Also, taking into account your safety, this transport shuttle acts as a support vehicle to provide care for unforeseen emergencies. Riders who wish to take a break from the bicycle after our designated lunch stop will have the opportunity to be transported in our support vehicle to our final destination for the day. We know that occasionally a journey is more difficult than it appears and we are happy to work with each individual group to tailor our programs to your group's needs.

Food and Dietary Requirements:

We, at Mr Biker Saigon, believe in supporting locally-owned, eco-friendly and sustainable businesses to provide a unique and memorable excursion for your group, for this reason, we partner with local restaurants and community members in order to ensure that you have delicious, locally-sourced and unique food experiences on our journey together.

As always, we are happy to provide support for riders with specific food allergies and dietary requirements by providing vegan and vegetarian options. If your group has specific nutrition requirements please let us know when booking, so we can make sure we have the opportunity to meet your needs.

Liability and Personal Health Insurance:

Mr Biker Saigon does not provide personal liability insurance to the guests on the trip. We recommend that each rider has the relevant Personal Health Insurance for travelling in Asia and coverage of activities such as cycling.

As we generally cycle in remote and seldom-visited areas of Vietnam, immediate access to critical care infrastructure such as ambulances is often not available. To ensure your safety, we provide a support vehicle for our excursions. Your safety comes first to us and we plan ahead to make sure that you have everything you need to cycle at your best.
