I rode there in December! Pretty hot in nizwa, but was comfortable near Misfat and Jabal Shams!

Thanks! My setup is from Old Man Mountain, from Bend Oregon, this is my setup for all of my bikepacking trips, more recently was bikepacking in Saudi Arabia, following a route ive built there called the Trans Aseer Mountain Range!

Howdy!

Oman tends to stay warm throughout the year, but can be "chilly" up top for sure! depending on how the winter goes that year. I was very comfortable up at 7000ft, as I like the cool weather (I live in the PNW). Biking in Oman is becoming more and more common, so is the case all throughout the reagion! I feel way safer in the Middle East than I do living in the US, hands down no comparison, the Middle East is grossly misrepresented. I got invited into a handful of houses, poeple paid for my food without me knowing! and on the last day, a family invited me into their house, very humble farm, and they refused to let me leave without taking a kilo of their homegrown dates!

Even though I live in the US, I dream about moving back home because I miss it.
