Last weekend the Andes Rider Challenge took place in the southern part of the country. Enjoying part of the Inca roads, descending to the amazon basin and from there to the pacific line, the endurance covered a distance of 1000 km (625 miles) on all types of terrain and had to be done in less than 20 hours. Of course, Ecuador Bike Rental by Sleipner was there to test their motorcycles on the most demanding roads Ecuador can offerThe stage to the first control station, delivered to the riders, roads with rain, dense fog and mud. Quite a challenge not only physically but mental as well.
Once passing through the first check point, the beauties of the southern part of the country was a delight to all participants, that for a bit, forgot the stress of the previous stage. Going up north, they witnessed the majestic Chimborazo as they passed beside the Volcano avenue on their way down to the Coast line.

Riding on the south part of the Spondylus route, they had time to enjoy some well deserved pacific coast food. Ceviches and shrimp rice were the main choices. And then, ready again to ride back down to Cuenca to finish the endurance.
Our motorcycles and the team we formed with experienced riders, had the expected results. Not only on the event itself but also on the comfort to know that they were all supported by our GPS tracking system and our onsite support center which covered the trajectory of the bikes and was ready to deploy a team of mechanics and first aid team in our support truck in case it was needed.
