death road
We travelled to Bolivia to take on a truly epic 3-day, 370km gravel ride with over 10,000 metres of climbing. The journey took us from the high plains of the Altiplano down the world's most dangerous highway, the infamous Death Road. Battling extreme altitude, treacherous weather, and a potential curse, this was one of the wildest and most unforgettable adventures we've ever had.
