[QUOTE="NitroRoo, post: 76616, member: 908"] One of the best things about Costa Rica Unbound, was when you get back to the resort you simply drop off the bike, they spray you down, then you drop off your riding gear and they deliver it back up to your room fresh and clean! I didn't know what to do with myself, as usually I spend just as long cleaning everything up as I do riding the bike! Still had to try to get our helmets and boots to dry out though...

It's funny how our bodies and brains work. Normally I'd be groaning and dragging my butt out of bed at 7am, but not here in Costa Rica. My head popped off the pillow before the alarm at 6am, and I was ready to go! I went downstairs and grabbed some breakfast – they had an awesome dish ready with potatoes and eggs, good fuel for the day. The local parrot squawked at me as I walked back to my room to get suited up.
