TOMÁS
I never thought that 6,000 km by bike around Europe, working as Secretary of Economic Development for the Government and being a good cyclist with several races won, would be the perfect mix to create a company. Colombia Cycling allows us to show the world that the best place to ride a bike is Colombia. Not only because of the great challenges that our mountains bring and that have made our “Escarabajos” famous, but also because of the culture and historical and local knowledge that we can share on the rides.
MARCELA
After spending years supporting and advising entrepreneurs and companies, Colombia Cycling allowed me to combine my passion for travel and creating experiences. My energy, hospitality, ability to connect with people and my dedication to taking care of the smallest details, makes our tours one of the best memories of your life. I have curated the best accommodation, restaurants and attractions to ensure that you not only have a wonderful adventure on your bike, but also off it.
TRÉBOL, (CLOVER) A black cat with yellow eyes is the Colombia Cycling Pet
On an exploratory trip through the coffee zone, while Tomás
was riding his bike and Marce was in the car and the sun was setting, we saw a pair of eyes and stopped. We were in the middle of nowhere and suddenly a kitten was walking toward us. He seemed hungry and all we had to give him were granola bars. It is rare for a cat to come close to people, yet it surrounded us with its tail and continued to eat cookies. What to do? Should we adopt it? Well, if the cat gets into the car, he will have chosen us. The kitten jumped on Marce’s legs and accompanied us for more than 3 days, sleeping outside the hotels for free, the next day always ready to continue our journey together. Despite bringing home a fungal infection, his sparse tail looking like an arrow and his gremlin-like ears being hairless, today after many years he is our companion, friendly with all the cyclists who visit us, and our official mascot. If you want to have a TREBOL with you, climb Letras! Just as the prize of the Tour de France is a Lion, if you finish El Alto de Letras with Colombia Cycling you will receive a Trébol, your lucky cat.
