The hottest hours of the day are often the hardest in the saddle. If you plan your tour around the midday heat, you ride more relaxed – and enjoy the best hours.

Planning smartly in the heat

  • Start early: The cool morning hours are ideal for covering distance.
  • Lunch break in the shade: A longer break between noon and 3 pm.
  • Ride on in the evening: The light is nicer, the air more pleasant.

Good planning takes the stress out of the ride. For preparing your tours, there's the Adventure Blueprint.
