When most people think of Bali the first thing that usually comes to mind are endless waves and black sand beaches, but for our crew mountain biking was what we were after. With help from the guys at The Chillhouse - Bali Surf and Bike Retreats, Richie Schley, Maruius Hoppensack and myself (Andrew Taylor) soon found this tropical paradise to be a mountain bikers heaven. From steep rugged volcanoes to lush jungles opening into vast rice fields, we all found terrain that suited our styles. Even though the riding played the biggest role on the trip we often found ourselves immersed in the rich Balinese culture, enjoying every bit of it!

 Sweet, now I have two excellent reasons to go back to Bali! Mtn. Bike down to the bukit and surf Dreamland and Padang-Padang! Nothing like a full moon party at Ulu's to wrap up the day Wink

 Neither had I until being invited to the Asia Pacific Downhill Challenge.
Everyone was stoked on riding and the locals were grateful to have a proper DH trail to race!

 If you actually thinking about going there check out chillhouse. I don't want to over advertis it, but with them we would have been able to find all those spots and they also got rental bikes and can be a big help.

 We just fixed it with a clamp. Worked pretty good until I get over-motivated went to fast as the bile started to bounce, ripped of and flew all over the street hitting a car parking on the side of the road. But all the guys there are pretty chill!
