Fellow biking connoseurs,

For the fourth consecutive year, El Reto de los Volcanes (“El Reto”) offers participants a unique and challenging stage race that incorporates epic climbs with singletrack and technical downhills.

Costa Rica´s racer-friendliest event takes place April 9 - 11, 2010 and on each state racers will visit five volcanoes, ride in several protected forested areas and in limited-access cloudforest singletrack.

In 2010 the last stage ends at in a natural hot springs resort on the slopes of Arenal Volcano (Costa Rica's most active volcano).

Talking about Costa Rica, has anyone attended the Guanaride?

Hi,

Guanaride is a great race (last time I came
in 4th Master's B). But it is best characterized as a "roadies" dirt race. El Reto has tons of techie trails and epic ascents and descents.

Cheers,

Carlos
