top of the trailWhat an amazing bike ride. We started at almost 15,000 feet and finished at around 3,000 feet. Over 60 Miles of riding, mostly downhill but there were a few good hill climbs. One of them was about 2 miles long and I call it heartbreak hill because it was not easy climb. The cliffs along the ride were amazing, to start in the high mountains and finish in the jungle was pretty sweet. In the past over 100 people died every year on this road. For this reason they have built a new much safer route for cars and buses, but the bikers still love the excitement of a near death experience.
