The Mống Cái-Cà Mau bike ride covers approximately 2410 km of biking and is divided into twenty one legs. Since we do not utilize van support, each leg covers a distance that can be seasonably supported by motor bike. Each biker is responsible for his/her own belongings which are carried on the back panniers of the bike. The total number of biking legs however can be shortened if you have van or automobile supports which can also provide carry-on support for individual belongings. With less weight on the bike, you can go faster and cover greater distance.
