55 kilometres....starting at 4700m elevation, finishing at 1200m....1000m drop-offs in parts....on a mountain bike....5 hours.....death road, bolivia....done and got the t-shirt!! I ache all over, my butt hurts the worst...but I feel fantastic!!! Maybe 10years since I been on a bike, but I nailed it....woohoo!!! Riding through clouds, under waterfalls, majority of road is gravel and rock, water crossings, and once section the road completely missing so had to climb into ditch and back out other side to continue our ride. Gravity Bolivia is the company, highly recommend to anyone visiting Bolivia!!
We went la senda verde at end which is an animal refuge, monkeys, birds, bears, jaguars, snakes - mistreated animals that will live their remaining life here as it is against bolivian law to release animals back into the wild. They survive on volunteer workers.
Was a long day, started at 730am and back to hotel 830pm. Had amazing dinner, pacumutu (bolivian dish of super tender beef and chicken on a skewer, with a spicy sauce), inhaled dinner actually!
