Amy + James Thomas take their Sugar wheels all over the world as they travel for work and play.
Their latest adventure took them to Oman. They poked around date farms, persevered over mountain passes and soaked in the expansive views from on high.
“We know where we intend to go and we don’t know where we will go until we are done.”
– James
Remove travel requires an abundance of details to worry about – your wheelset should never be one of them.

OMAN BIKE TRIP DETAILS
Amy and James based their bike rides out of the home base of Bait al Aali, a bike-friendly inn in Al Hamra, Oman.
James says Al Hamra is a nice central location to the Hajar Mountains of Oman. As a 400-year-old town, it has a rich history. Amy and James found plenty of gravel routes for biking over the mountains.
As a female cyclists traveler, Amy says the people of Oman were very friendly to her. “I had heard good things about Oman from several of my woman friends who hiked there and it was just gorgeous.”
Bike riding and bikepacking in the the far off, remote places that James and Amy do requires a lot of planning, and careful gear selection.
The couple has matching Open Cycles bikes outfitted with thoughtfully selected Sugar Wheels. They know they can rely on their wheels and their bikes to get them though even the toughest of terrain.
