Notes:-

1. Road bike only.
2. Support car recommended. Ive done this workout with a group and without a support car. It was extremely difficult.
3. Extremely technical ride with loads of climbing and loads of downhills.
4. Pick a campsite to sleep in the night before as an early start is a must.
5. Near the windmill sections it is possible to encounter hunters with weapons. Just be careful but your all good.
6. Tafileh decent is very technical. Make sure you are always in control as near the end of it there is a huge amount of dogs. This part is extremely dangerous. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO COMPLETELY STOP AND WALK THIS SECTION INSTEAD OF SPRINTING THEM OUT.
7. Once you get to the Dead Sea high way make sure you refill on nutrition. Also make sure you refill when leaving the highway as theres a crazy amount of climbing coming up, lots of heat, and no chance of refilling for a long amount of time.
8. The road becomes very narrow. Beware of the Beduins driving especially when on steep inclines.
