These two days were the main reason for our trip to Colombia, to climb the longest climb in the world. Definitely an experience we'll never forget!

Your video gives us, the viewers, a real sense of place; the countryside, the character of the towns and villages, the people, their friendliness. You are so lucky to be able to experience something that few of will ever see through our own eyes on our cycling travels. Thank you for the insight into Columbia. I hope you find coffee without sugar!

The good coffee is to expensive for most locals and exported. Therefore generally the coffee in Columbia is pretty bad.

Yeah it makes me wonder. People says Colombia produces good coffee then how come the coffee tasted bad.

What an experience! And the editing is topnotch. One question - I noticed the Colombian rider uses the same hand signals used in the UK but Mike didn't seem to be following them. Do you not use these in the Netherlands? As we're moving to the Netherlands soon, I'm very curious about this.
