What is needed
Of course, it's needed a mountain bike and a minimum of equipment.
Bicycles like as "trekking" are not reccomended, those as "city" or "road" are inappropriate.
Again, please refer to page of sports program for information and clarification.
Then it would be nice to obtain blocknotes, pen, and if you have a GPS receiver!
Also reccomended:
- digital camera
- mp3 recorder
- or if you are just hyper-technological, a smartphone with all this!
