La Ruta de los Conquistadores has got to be the toughest mountain bike race in the world. Check out the official website here. It starts this November 12 and ends November 15 and it races 250-miles from Costa Rica’s Pacific to Caribbean coasts. In the words of one of last years racers, its nothing short of physical suffering and crazed frustration, flat tires, bug bites, muddy drive trains and long hikes through the jungle. Here's a few shots from the race. Some of the looks on the riders faces tell a lot. You can see Tinker Juarez with the dreadlocks in some of the shots. You know when a pro racer like him who has won numerous 24 hour off road world championships is hurting it has to be tough.
