Ecuador – land of volcanoes
Colombia is a hard act to follow in bike touring terms … but although Ecuador is small in size it sure delivers some big highs. As some fellow cyclists said “if you flattened Ecuador out it would be the size of Canada!’ Yep … that pretty much sums it up. Riding some of the Trans Ecuador Mountain Bike Route also exposed us to an amazing variety of scenery, road conditions and indigenous groups. Add some historic colonial towns and cities and you have one awesome bike ride. Only problem was that a month just wasn’t long enough …
Fantastic as always, happy travels
Cheers Michael, looks like you’re having a great trip too!
Beautiful and looks challenging. Thanks for sharing. Great to follow your adventure.
Thanks Marilyn. Can’t believe we’ve been on the road now for 16 months! Challenging but rewarding & the legs do stop hurting (eventually!)
Truly EPIC!!???????
Definitely more epic than expected!
I second what Bob said. Truely Epic!!! Your videos are fantastic. May have to look into that Mtn bike trail in Ecuador. Cool.
Question? Did you take the singletracks version or the dirt road version? I see these are the two options. If you did the singletrack route you two are Badasses. Guess we already know that though. ?
We took the dirt road version – more than enough pushing! It sounds like the single track would mean a whole lot of carrying/lifting – not fun with a BOB trailer!
Cracker of a vid too. Something is wrong. You’re at the equator. It should be hot but a lot of the time it looks anything but. Did you get the shawl from those llamas?
Like the llamas we like to avoid anything approaching sea level … give me a snugly alpaca shawl over a sweaty cycle top any day!
Finally got around to watching this… just brilliant! Well done indeed!
Just back in wifi-land, more video soon! Cheers!
