ROUTE
St. Kitts Island Loop
The full circuit of the island: out of Basseterre, up the west coast past Brimstone Hill, around the northern tip, back down the Atlantic side past Black Rocks. The best single day of riding in St. Kitts.
The island loop is roughly [distance] and takes about [riding time] in the saddle, or [total time] with stops. It is a stay-over ride. It does not fit comfortably inside a typical cruise call, and Revura will not plan it for one.

Cruise visitors: read this first
The island loop is a committing route. Once you are past the northern tip, turning back is not shorter than carrying on, which is exactly the wrong property for a ride with a hard deadline.

If your call is shorter than that, take Timothy Hill or Cockleshell Beach instead. You will see more and worry less.
