At the beginning of the ride, there were also lots of places where you had to carry the bike. At one point, we had our bikes above our heads to carry them up a steep hillside - and when I say steep, I mean really, really steep! Score 1 for upper body strength!
I'm glad we made it up that hillside though because the bike ride was incredibly beautiful! The rice terraces were so green and seemed to go on forever! And the people we met in the villages were so nice, always smiling and happy to point us in the right direction! Also, we found an awesome little restaurant right in the middle of the rice terraces to have lunch; it was so peaceful and relaxing! Not to mention, riding on those steep downhill portions (what goes up, most come down) was amazing!! It was like flying!
Definitely a good day!
