About the biking. It's largely on the river trail, and you'll be able to do it on a road bike but you'll be slow on some grassy offshoots. A MTB is best. Security - we recommend locking pairs of bikes together at the transitions while you do the foot. You can do the biking without the foot sections if you wish - or do the 4 foot sections without the biking. They are all accessible by car.
