Take responsibility, don't blame me.

A circular route from Echo Cotier, ridden clockwise. Rated moderate due to many soft sand sections (including 4km along Guereo beach), navigation challenges and overall length. Guereo beach cannot be ridden at high tide, just use Paradise Rasta as an alternate. Monte Pylon, Mango Unchained and Ranger Danger will be overgrown after rainy season but should be rideable Jan through August. Expect a few scratches from riding Monte Pylon. Use a bar mounted navigation aid to stay on track. This route includes a river crossing at Somone - so have XOF 1000 ready
