Welcome to the forum man, I have a couple friends in chile and a brother in law that lived there for a few years, spent some time in your neighbors county so aguante boca juniors loco!
Thanks a lot guys 4 the welcome party ;-) , nice to see that this sport is a cross race / nationality one !! Hope to post some AM pics of my ridings around the surrounding hills of Santiago.
Sure , there are some (still) wild places to go around the the city. As mentioned El Huinganal, Las Varas , and now a bike park (cool !) ... here are some shots ...
There must be some there (not here in Santiago) but in the far north desert in Chile (San Pedro de Atacama) there are more than 1 bike per soul .... also to the southern lake district too !!
ok, thanks for the info. I was hoping to find a crew that rides hard and has access to good rental bikes so that we can hit the trails in the pictures.
The other day in this same trail I came to meet 2 americans living here in Santiago, Chile, they were riding Rocky Mountian MTBs , one of them was flying back to Colorado to pick another bike back home.
I haven't ridden in Santiago, but those look like some cool trails. I did ride in Torres Del Paine in January and it was awesome. We rented bikes from our guide. He's exploring some other trails in the park and surrounding areas, so who knows, may have to go back down there in a few years.
We were there when the fire was still going on, but on the other side of the park. It messed up our plans to do the W, so we only did the V and missed Glaciar Grey. I have kept in touch with our guide and he is exploring other trails with more singletrack in and around TDP. Here are my favorite pics he's sent:
