The engine wakes before the trail does — a low, steady rumble that cuts through the hum of cicadas and the scent of wet earth. Within minutes you leave the coastal strip and are threading singletrack that climbs through scrub and sugarcane, splashing shallow riverbeds that dare you to push a little harder. Where the ridge opens, the Caribbean flashes turquoise below and the wind pushes the dust off your helmet like an approving hand.
