finally rewarded with an ocean of clouds

here our recommendation:
don't ride the trail
- if it was raining in the days before
- if there is the slightest chance of rain on the day you ride
(you will not make it over the landslides, or risk severe injury)
- if you are not 100% physically fit
- if you suffer vertigo.
(not only the bridge. there is one really steep unsecured section to walk over the landslide)
- if your bike weighs much more than 14kg (it's just a pain in the ass)
- if you want to go with too many people
(just slows you down even more and you have more mechanical failures.
4 of us was a perfect team, to stay together and to help each other)
- if you take a minibus instead of a van
(there is one narrow curve just behind the mountain police post in the bottom,
where a minibus cannot turn.
you would have to ride up 9k to the start of the trail.
this curve was rebuild smaller after 2005)
