The morning air on the outskirts of Medellín smells like wet earth and gasoline as riders line up beneath a patchwork of palms and concrete—helmets click into place, intercoms test, and the small Hondas idle like coiled energy. The city’s hills push outward here, green ridgelines daring riders to climb, and the road unfurls through Sabaneta, Envigado, El Poblado and Laureles before spilling into the cooler mountain valley that leads to San Jerónimo.
