Day 2 Butur Volcano
We head up to Penulisan on the rim of the Batur crater for the start of our first ride. The first part of the trail is on a broken tarmac road with spectacular views of the Batur Volcanic cone and on a clear day Mt. Abang and Mt. Agung in the distance. We turn onto jeep tracks and easy single track to the village of Pinggan where we have a well-earned lunch. A short sharp descent takes us to the base of the volcanic cone, and we spend the afternoon riding around the base of the volcano on narrow sandy trails. With the last part of the trail crossing the latest lava field, there is ample opportunity to get a close up of the volcano and the strange moonscapes that it has created. Cycling distance - 35km

Day 3 Mt Abang and Mt Agung
This day is your chance to see the unseen! First, we’ll take you from Abang to the east coast with a ride starting at the edge of the Batur Crater. From there, you’ll head downhill on jeep tracks for 8 km before turning east and climbing steadily through 10 km pine forests to the top of a mountain pass between Mt. Abang and Mt. Agung. At this point, lunch will be served. Please be aware that this part of the island is extremely remote and back-up will not be available for long stretches of the ride.
