Imagine riding the Alto de Letras – the longest UCI-categorized climb in the world – both up AND down, but on a bike with no brakes and just one fixed gear. Sounds like a crazy idea?

The Alto de Letras is located in Colombia and stretches over 100 kilometers with a grueling ascent of nearly 4,000 meters. It's an epic test of endurance, mental toughness, and determination.
