Rides are subject to change.

Has there ever been a life-changing moment in your life?
Yes, when I had a head injury while cycling alone at over 3,000meters altitude and lost all of my memory! Didn't know my name, anything about who I was, what country I was in or how I ended up in a place that's beauty must rival heaven.
I regained my memory after a few hours of self-exploration but my life started over at that moment. I am happy and grateful with no fears.
