Do you see cyclists on the road?

There is at least one race in Cuenca along the Rio Tomebamba but I don't recall the dates of the last one I ran into. Not literally "ran into", but the race did make it hard to walk on the same path the racers were using. That's never a problem with the foot races on the same route.

There was a bike rental service in Cuenca on 3 de Novembre not far from the Inca Bar. They have bikes available on Sundays for groups to ride, mostly along the river paths. It has been quite a while since I have been in that area on a Sunday, but those folks might know of opportunities to do trail rides.
