The trail opens with the humid breath of the Atlantic Forest and the city shrinking beneath you — Rio's high-rises and bay become a patchwork of color as the route climbs into green. You start at Sector A of Tijuca National Park, pedaling shaded service roads and singletrack cut through dense bromeliads and towering fig trees. Periodic lookouts pry open views to Christ the Redeemer and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon; at several points the forest itself seems to lean forward, daring you to move faster.
