As a preview for the bike ride across Belize this summer, Matt and I were treated to a short 13 mile ride with Brainard and his cousin Joseph. The ride proved beneficial in many ways, and gave us some insight to the do’s and don’ts of riding bikes in Belize. One of the lessons that we learned has been featured in a video clip in a previous post, and that was to go one at a time across a swinging bridge. However, we learned that if you want to bike in Belize the key is to get up early and then be off the road before the midday sun cooks you.

Hopefully, all of this will be able to help Scott and I on the big ride this summer, but we encourage all the experienced bikers to offer their thoughts on what to do.
Let us know what you think, and get involved in the project!
