- I've ridden gravel all over North America, but an invitation to ride in Costa Rica was too hard to pass up! My good friend Miguel of Grasshopper Adventure Series has been visiting and riding in Costa Rica for decades and knows how to have fun on two wheels.
Over six days of riding, this is seeing a small fraction of the country from the perspective of the bike.
My bike for this trip was my traditional racing wagon:
@CannondaleBicycles71 SuperSix EVO SE
@SRAM 1x Red AXS drivetrain; 46t front, 10-50 rear
@zippspeed Firecrest 303
Rene Herse Hurricane Ridge 700x42 tires in Endurance Plus casing
Zipp XPLR handlebars
The entire collection of rides can be found here with @ridewithgps: ridewithgps.co...

Big thanks to Massi and www.Explornatura.com.
I love visiting Costa Rica. My favorite place to visit in all Latin America.
The ole hang the nose of the saddle on the back of your neck trick! Classic 😜 well done TK
Beautiful country, thanks for the visual cycling adventure while I sipped my coffee.
Speechless...
Now that looked like a good time. What a great experience. Thanks for the video. Take care, Al
Yu huuu wellcome to Costa Rica, Pura Vida!!!!! Hope you come soon again and of course just advice
Great to watch you riding in my home country, Ted. Pura vida!
Love that you post the rides so I can do them myself
Nice! Beautiful country.
Great to have a new Gravel King video and this one was pretty special. Looking race fit too 👊🏻
Could it have been a log? Wise man moving out of California. What a privilege to be seeing this experience. Dreams.
Nice! Amazing and beautiful country! Pura vida!
PURA VIDA, MAES!
pura vida, papa!!! mas na'!!!
I miss costa rica....Pura Vida!!!
Thanks Ted for having us along...
That was great. Especially love the montage at the end. Thank you.
Manny Prado still rides. When Sho Air was a force to recon with.
Such a great guy. I really enjoyed riding with Manny.
@@TedKing1 I really like him. Having that Freestyle background made him a great bike handler in xc. Seeing him with the Costa Rica national champion jersey batting the best in the US was something Costa Rica should be proud off.
That looks pretty awesome! I can't wait to gravel ride Costa Rica and Colombia in a few months.- Thanks for sharing your bike set up. I'm ordering those Rene Herse tires.
You should!
I’m loving the beard, King - epic adventure ride
Looks amazing! Great video!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, awesome scenery, just subbed.
Big awesome thank you for sharing your video 🌹🤗❤️
Thanks for watching, means a lot!
Awesome video ! Enjoyed every minute of it TK !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Pura vida. I know a few of those places. Some I dont. Looks awesome. Great rides.
Thanks 👍 They're pretty darn fun.
Love the video, I did the Ruta race back in the day, the Locals lit that race up! They were amazing! I heard the Arenal is dormant lately?
You guys are freaking machine
Hope you actually got to see the volcano at Arenal. When we went the clouds cleared for a while and we got to see the entire volcano.
Wow that looks so awesome. Definitely on the list of places to go. The big question. 42c or 48c?
Rene Herse Hurricane Ride 700x42 endurance plus casing
Those are 42 in the video. I'd ride as big as you possibly can in CR. 48 or even 55 if you can fit'm!
wow, beautiful landscape! but hmm :37 was that a giant fire ant!?...also did the mountain bike folks have more "fun"?! btw~2:55, our sag always carries a chain saw.
Sign me up!
Hi there! Any way to get my hands into a Strava link for the GPS? I have the routes for the 2009 Guanaride if interested, a 5 day race in Guanacaste.
Here are the Ride with GPS links ridewithgps.com/collections/43502?privacy_code=5F8kRVYhF8yWvn7g
Looks beautiful. What is the date in 2023? Route(s) posted anywhere?
Stay tuned to instagram.com/grasshopperadventureseries
¡Pura vida!
...pedal vida?
Ted, you've ridden Mt Washington before, I assume. Isn't that 4200 ft in 7.7miles?
Good grief no, that climb sounds awful.
...that is a joke. But no, I haven't ridden it.
I miss Costa Rica and this certainly brings me back to the time I got to spend there. Pura Vida! I got to ride down a waterslide on the Rincon volcano... watch?v=GZArWq3_m8g It was as much fun as it sounds like. ;-)
Maybe I’m dumb but CAN you shower 🚿 off a bike with the Garmin head unit on there I guess it’s like rain but seems odd to me
Gotta travel with a chainsaw! Not unlike New Hampshire.
Ha, fair point.
Steal your face right off your head
I had to Google that...
