  • La Ruta de Los Conquistadores
    Check out these photos. La Ruta is billed as the "Most grueling mountain bike race on the planet." I can attest to the challenging nature of this 4-day/ 4-stage race across Costa Rica from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea, which involves 40,000 vertical feet of climbing, 225 miles of riding in mud, gravel, heat, cold, fog, rain, and hiking through rivers and across treacherous railroad bridges. Along with my friends, Andy Caputo and Dave Cormier, I participated in 2007 with goals of being an official finisher, not getting hurt, and taking lots of pictures. Mission accomplished. In my daily professional life, I encounter many people who are crippled by arthritis and several post-traumatic conditions that do not allow them to participate in physical exercise. Those people inspire me to become involved in events such as La Ruta, quite simply, because I can.
