With the local outdoors group Rutacero I went on a mountain bike trip high above Ibarra. We left at 4am from Quito, which was the bad thing about the trip. Everything else was great. It was fantastic landscape, with views on Imbabura and Cotacachi. The first 10 km we went up from about 3000m to 3700m which was pretty tough. Then it was a long downhill ride, followed by yet another, but shorter uphill part. And then a seemingly never ending downhill part on a cobbled road. It was really tough to hold the bike and we were completely shaken through at the end.
The end of the trip was in black people's village. The kids were excited about seeing us and all wanted to have rides on our bikes. They also received the remainders of our lunch.
