A fully cooked breakfast will be served at 7am and then we’ll head off to the start of the first ride at Kintamani – a UNESCO protected geological area. The route starts at 1,700m above sea level on the upper rim of the famous Batur volcano caldera. The upper section follows an exhilarating single track along the caldera ridge through elephant grass and casuarina forests, with the sea on one side and the Batur crater on the other. The rim is single track with some technical downhill sections, and steep but short lung-bursting climbs. The ride traverses to the inner rim of the caldera via steep broken asphalt (the only option) and then follows jeep tracks and a fast, single track section through farming land before ending with a ride on the lava flow resulting from the 1926 and 1968 volcanic eruptions. We finish the day soaking in the hot springs on the side of Batur Lake. There will be a shuttle ride back to Saba and a great home-cooked meal.
