Ho Chi Minh city - Tien Giang - Ben Tre - Ride 40-60km
Ben Tre - 7:30 am - Leave Saigon and van transfer to a cafe where riders have a bike fitting before setting off.
The first segment of the day’s journey features lightly trafficked, mostly paved country roads, protected from the sun by attentive lines of coconut trees. After 15 km, we’ll arrive at a ferry crossing the Mekong River.
While the next segment’s cycling is relaxed and non-technical, we do offer a shuttle to our finishing
destination in lieu of continuing to ride. Our transport vehicle and private shuttle will be standing by
to ensure that these riders have the support they need to thoroughly enjoy their day.
After the ride, we’ll relax at a restaurant serving traditional Mekong Delta cuisine along with cocktails
and beers. You’ll also have the opportunity to shower before a short van transfer to the night’s
homestay

The cycle tracks today on the first 40 kms of the journey are unique gravel and concrete trails through coconut plantations and lemon grass fields. We will pass through charming Mekong Delta villages and cycle past traditional delta style homes that have been used as communal family residences for generations.
