In December, 2005, we descended from Camp Whymper, 5000 meters up Chimborazo, to Riobamba -- an unbelievable 52 km ride. Edison Baldeón of
Biking Spirit in Riobamba led us down roads and little-known trails through el arenal, across the grasslands of the paramo and finally through indigenas villages on the forested lower slopes back to Riobamba.
I have mountain biked for 10 years in some of the most beautiful places in the world but I have never experienced anything like this ride.
