Thinking of cycling the full Kandy lake road before eight Sunday. Is that sane after festival weekend traffic habits, or better to stick to a short lakeside segment and walk the rest.

Before eight a short lakeside segment is the calmer joy. Full-loop traffic and gradients surprise people who only wanted an easy spin.

If you are strong and early, the full loop can work — start earlier than you think and keep right for tuks.

Differentiate from a quiet foot walk: bikes need exit space. When in doubt, shorten the ride and keep the morning kind.
