Tips for riding on the Bukit
- Hills are long — don't ride the brakes all the way down. See climbs and descents.
- Watch for sand on corners near beach access roads.
- The road to Uluwatu Temple is packed before sunset.
- Night riding on narrow cliff roads is best avoided.
For Ubud from Uluwatu, leave by 7 am and return by mid-afternoon to beat the Bypass traffic.
