'''Turning left onto a secondary road just north of Sambava, this route runs along hilltops with stunning views of the surrounding hillscapes until the villages of [[Antsiraka]] and [[Ambohimitsinjo]].''' [[File:Sambava-Farahalana_via_Ambohimitsinjo_by_bike_mapAmbohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_002.jpg|600px]] [[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_001.jpg|600px]] [[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_008.jpg|600px]] [[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_map.jpg|link=Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_map]] The road and sometimes trail continues at lower altitudes through nature, vanilla plantations and along rice fields until the Maheva river. The route thereafter runs through the villages of [[Ambodimanga]], [[Masovariaka]] until arriving at [[Farahalana]] where the RN5a turns north back to [[Sambava]]. [[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_012.jpg|600px]] During times of much rain, the road along the river between Ambodimanga and Farahalana gets very muddy and more or less unbikeable in places. {| class="imageTable"|-|colspan="3" | [[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_015.jpg|600px]]|-|[[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_014.jpg|196px]]|align="center"|[[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_009.jpg|196px]]|align="right"|[[File:Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo-Farahalana-Sambava_by_bike_016.jpg|196px]]|} == Tour data == Day: 23rd August 2020<br>Distance: 56.4 kilometres<br>Duration: 5 hours and 43 minutes<br>Average speed : 9.9 km/h<br>Minimum elevation: 10 metres<br>Maximum elevation: 86 metres<br>Total climb: 385 metres<br>Total descent: 381 metres<br> == Places of interest == [[Antsiraka]]<br>-14.351400, 50.101100 [[Ambohimitsinjo]]<br>-14.402567, 50.104383 [[Ambodimanga]]<br>-14.402983, 50.117100 [[Masovariaka]]<br>-14.398733, 50.123517 [[Farahalana via ]]<br>-14.429559, 50.156202 [[Antohomaro]]<br>-14.327350, 50.185200 Lake Andohabe<br>-14.33642760816221, 50.17071161723301 [[Sambava]]<br>-14.254318, 50.157051 == Photos == View all [[Sambava-Ambohimitsinjo -Farahalana-Sambava by bikephotos]] == Madabike == More bike routes and bicycle rental: [http://www.Madabike.com Madabike.com]__NOTOC__
