Ubud, Indonesia
Five days and 436 km around Bali, starting in Ubud and finishing in Canggu. The route runs from the island's cultural centre out to the east coast at Amed, up over the Kintamani crater rim above Mount Batur, across to Tejakula on the north shore, then inland through Munduk and down through the Jatiluwih rice terraces. Days are short by touring standards, between 27 and 147 km, working out at roughly four to five hours in the saddle at an average of about 50 km/h. Most of it is sealed road with some light off-road, and there are sharp bends and steep climbs and descents throughout. Off the bike there is snorkelling on the reef at Amed, volcanic hot springs, a sunrise boat trip to look for dolphins, a walk to a waterfall and a barbecue on a black sand beach. Intrepid Moto rates it Intermediate +, so you should be confident with throttle and clutch control, steep gradients and light unsurfaced surfaces. It suits riders who want culture and stops built into the days rather than a pure distance run. Minimum four riders.
