The bike, in ultracycling is very important, yes, but you have to develop other aspects:
- how to manage unexpected events,
- riding without any schemes,
- cycling without planning the hotel or where to stop.
Ultracycling is not a bike tour; travelers plans their daily stages, they stops and starts again the following day.. in the Ultracycling you proceed without scheduling This obliges you to make quick choices and to improvise, and improvisation is the most exciting part of the adventure, without improvisation there is no adventure!!
