How do the backup vehicles support cyclists on the trip?
Most routes are small and narrow, just wide enough for two bicycles OR mopeds. There are vehicles to support riders on the entire trip (van/minibus to take up all cyclists and truck to carry all bikes and spare bikes), but they are too big to drive on and follow riders through the countryside. Do remember! All support vehicles are permanently closed and not far from the group. Where will the support vehicles be used during the trip? Depending on routes, vehicles sometimes move along the high roads, second highways, or country roads as close to riders as possible. If one of the riders wants to relax in an A/C vehicle, the tour leaders will find the shortest route that leads riders to the support vehicles that are always on standby. That is very easy, and also the way Vietnam Backroads is organized.
We organize cycling holidays, cycling adventure trips, and mountain biking tours. All are flexible with luxury, fully air-conditioned vehicles to support riders on the entire journey. It depends on how many riders are in the group, and the vehicle support services will be well-arranged to satisfy your travels. There are air-conditioned 16-seat vans/minibusses to take up all riders and luggage and a truck to hold all bikes during the trip.
Every morning, the vehicles will transfer you out of the bustling city. You will then ride to explore the stunning countryside, and you will be back in the cars to avoid traffic in town when the daily ride ends in the late afternoon.
Every 20 - 25 km, the support vehicles will be waiting at the high road if you are tired and would love to ride on A/C van. Your guide will escort you to vehicles effortlessly because many country back roads are linked to the main roadways, which keep cars on standby. Then, you can relax on a support vehicle when others in the group can continue cycling as long as they wish! You will meet the others at the next point/ destination where you love to rejoin the group and continue to ride.
All your luggage, suitcases, and day bags are safe in the company's vehicles and well-maintained by the company's drivers and team.
