The mountain biking tour we did with Edison turned out to be a great adventure. We drove to the first refuge on Chimborazo by car. After a hike to the laguna, we started our mountain biking trip by descending this snow covered mountain. On our way down the scenery and tracks changed all the time. At the end of the (more or less) 35 km descend we were surrounded by beautiful country side were we had a nice lunch/picknick. Edison is a friendly and profesional guide. He was constantly checking if we were doing fine. The bikes and gear we got to use were in good condition.If you know how to handle a bike, we definitely recommend this tour.

Edison, the owner/operator of Biking Spirit was very accommodating as we requested a tour with only 2 days notice. He personally guided our bike tour as most guides were gone for the Carnaval holiday. We had door to door service as he picked us up from and dropped us back off at our hotel in Riobamba. Edison and Yoel were gracious, attentive, funny, and informative. They offered great information on the history, landscape, and the people of the area. They made sure we were well taken care of throughout the day. The intermediate mountain biking trails we rode on were a little daunting for a few of us inexperienced mountain bikers at first, but ultimately amazing and worth it. The hike from base camp 1 to base camp 2 was absolutely breathtaking. Drinking some *tea before the climb up definitely helped with altitude adjustment. All in all, an excellent experience! I highly recommend this to anyone interested in mountain biking and seeing all the beauty in and around Chimborazo.

On our way from Quito to Cuenca, we decided to stop in Riobamba in hopes of seeing and hiking Chimborazo. We had read some other reviews of Biking Spirit and decided this might be the best way to to see the volcano. We contacted Edison (owner/guide) by email, outlining our thoughts for a day trip. The experience from this point on was very special. Not only did Edison meet us at our hotel to confirm activities the day before but he was on time the next morning for our expedition. We drove to 4800 m then hiked to 5050 to see the lagoon. Returned to parking lot and then biked down dirt roads, single track and pavement for about 31 km. What a great day. I can not say enough good things about the whole experience and especially our guide. If you are in the area, this is truly a great way to spend a day or more.

We got in touch with Biking Spirit roughly a month before our trip to Ecuador. After all the googling and reviews on things to do in Ecuador, we thought we would like to go for a multiple day trip cycling.With Biking Spirit we did the following journey:Riobamba - Chimborazo downhill cycling (35km)Attilio lakes to Macas (50km ++)Macas to Rio Pastaza river (50km ++)Can't really remember the total distances but it was great cycling!The beauty of the journey was that we started off with the highest volcano, then the scenery of the Amazon basin, then the constant pedal power of the last day.Biking Spirit customized our trip to what we wanted.We also visited Banos and the famous waterfall on our last day.Simply amazing! Thank you Edison. We would highly recommend them!
