There was the top of the world in this part of the world, Monte Beigua at 1287 meters...what a hellaciously long uphill to get to it!!! The downhill started off as an epic 'to be done again' ride, untill we ended up in the washed out single track, full of unstable rocks, branches and leaves! Yikes! Ended up pushing the bikes for about 40% of it! But it was beautiful and fun and probably not the last 8 hour expedition I go on!
