Colombian Trailblazer
Going to Colombia with Ride expeditions was an incredible experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. The initial booking process was quite simple and easy to follow. Deciding which trip to go on was the hardest part! After making a decision and contacting them via email Anna did an excellent job of walking me through what was required for the trip and what documents I would need to provide them. Next thing I knew I was on a plane to Colombia meeting up with Toby and the rest of the group in the beautiful city of Bogota. Each day that followed was an awesome and unique experience that felt like it just couldn't be topped. The accommodations were 5-star, the tour guides were friendly, and most importantly the riding was legit. My main concern going into this trip was that the riding would be watered down for insurance purposes and to keep all the riders together. However, the "point man system" kept everyone together at a range of different paces and we were allowed to ride as fast or slow as needed. The scenery and variety of different riding conditions was simply breathtaking. From vegetated single track to rocky descents created by rockslides there was always an interesting challenge. The Scenery in the Andes mountains was simply epic and constant. Having a support vehicle to carry luggage (and sometimes out of service bikes) from destination to destination made the riding more enjoyable as only a small backpack with water and essentials was required rather than a giant suitcase on the back of the bike. The dedicated mechanic Miro was a huge help too. He made sure that any mechanical issues were quickly dealt with and that the ride kept going forward no matter what unknown conditions popped up. This was invaluable and a price simply can't be placed on the value this brought to the trip. I could go on and on about how well organized and inspiring this trip was but I don't have time to ramble on forever. My advice is to simply book that trip if you have the time and resources!!! It is a truly once in a lifetime opportunity.
