San Juan Howler, a New Mountain Bike Adventure

The Howler's third annual race on December 11, 2010, juices up the adrenalin on Nicaragua's pristine mountain trails even though it's young compared to Guatemala's El Reto del Quetzel and Costa Rica's La Ruta de los Conquistadores.

Howler, what makes it so unique?

It's totally refreshing to find mountain bike action that is purely gratifying in connecting body, mind, spirit and nature at a time when we're jaded out of our senses and craving for unusual experiences.
