ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mixed Terrain Cycle-Touring

Imagine going on a really cool adventure ride on a bike with your family or friends. Instead of always going on smooth roads, you will ride on different types of surfaces like gravel, mud, sand, rocky trails, and grass to explore the beautiful countryside. That's called mixed terrain cycle-touring!

It's a bit like a rollercoaster ride, where you experience different types of bumps and turns, but it's fun and exciting. The bike you'll use is a special type of bike called a touring bike, which is designed to handle different types of terrain, making it perfect for these adventures.

You'll take a break from the city and travel through beautiful countryside, forests, mountains, and valleys, even crossing rivers on your bike. You might even see some farm animals or wildlife along the way! You'll need to wear a helmet and comfortable clothes that make it easy to move around when you ride.

Mixed terrain cycling is an excellent way to spend time outdoors, get some fresh air, and get some exercise while enjoying the beautiful scenery. It's a great way to create unforgettable memories and spend time with family and friends while being active!
