Description

The ride starts with a wonderful straight unpaved trail up to the main road close to Ntungamo. Although there are some climbs, the dirt road is smooth and easy to ride. Don't be surprised if loads and loads of villagers will say hi to you, wave or even want to have a small conversation as tourists rarely visit this area. The last 20 kilometers are on the main tarmac road.
