Tour Day 2: Barilouche to Circuito Chico

Our first cycling day of the tour - yay! It was cooler today, and very windy which made for an 'exciting' ride. We started out with a shuttle up to the ski area I cycled to on Friday, and started the ride with an exhilarating downhill. Fun! We then cycled west to one of the most popular destinations of the region, a lake and forest-filled recreational playground. Most of my fellow riders are on road bikes (only 4 of us have eBikes), so there are some strong cyclists in the group. After lunch, we cycled to the base of Cerro Campanario, where we took chairlifts up the mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of Bariloche – apparently this is often called one of the top ten views in the world. The strong wind and some clouds tempered the experience somewhat, but it was still definitely beautiful. We then cycled to the iconic Llao Llao Resort, and ended the night with dinner at a little family owned craft brewery in the woods 🍻😊.Read more
