I'm back from biking Guatemala!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Hi Everyone,
We got home last night and we had lots of fun in Guatemala!
We had a ton of climbing up steep dirt roads, the place is beautiful and the people are amazing. I took my biggest tumbler ever down a steep single track section (the view was dirt, sky, dirt, sky). One day we had 5000ft of climbing and 7000ft of descending, it was insane!!
I highly recommend taking a trip to Guatemala, I know that we will be returning some day to take in some of the beautiful scenary we missed on the trip. I've attached some photos and will submit another post with more.
Enjoy,
Snowtulip

Great pics! At first it looked easy, but, all those switchbacks...I bet descending was a blast!

wow Snow! Welcome home - I'm glad the weather warmed up here for you! and those pixs?? gorgeous my friend and it looks like some awesome riding. I loved the one with the trail right next to the stream! Looks like one heckuva trip!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Thanks everyone for the welcome home! And yes, the descending was fun, but tiring. This trip was the most physically demanding riding I've ever done. I'm so glad I relied on Coach Troy to help me before the trip (Tough Love really helped).
Corsair, I know, I can't believe we finally had some snow while I was gone!
