I had an unforgettable day with Simon and Sergio. Despite knowing Colombia quite well, they showed me a side of Colombia which I had never experienced before. The ride was challenging, the landscape stunning, the food great, and I saw parts of the country which are usually inaccessible for foreigners. An epic ride which will stay with me for a long time. Almost a bonus: outstanding professional communication and organization.
