Thanks for all the great info, Thiago. My fitness level is very good. I will look into buying a bike, probably road because it is easier to access rides without a car. I can probably store it with a co-worker when I'm not here.

Call me or whatsapp-me letting me know where you are staying in Campinas so that I can help you pointing out the best bike shop for you to get info or look for a good deal.

Let me know if you need any assistance with places to ride once you are set up with a bike.
If you let me know also your height or you MTB/Road bike size I can try to find a bike you can borrow.

Cheers

I stay at Melia (Tryp Campinas). I'll be back in a few weeks -- I'll be going back and forth a lot. Long flight from US. My road size is 58cm and MTB is large or XL (24.5" top tube). Thanks.

You're big! I will try but not easy to find such sizes to borrow, although you might find good deals on bike shops or internet (try looking at Bikemagazine or Mercado Livre Brasil).

If you have been flying so often you might consider bringing your bike *. I know it is a pain, but pays off every time. Look for my name on Strava if you want to check the places my friends and myself ride.

Let me know when you want to join a group ride.

* let me know if you can bring stuff - you've seen prices here are too high and we're always looking for friends who come from US to bring us some bike parts :thumbsup:

Let me know what you need. I might be able to bring some stuff next time in November.

I have unexpectedly been granted a 3 day week-end in Brazil January 25-27 and looking for something to do. I won't have a bike or any gear with me and I don't necessarily have to go biking but I do want to find some type of tour that is all inclusive with meals, lodging and a guide. I'm open to riding, hiking, sightseeing and even an ayahuasca retreat. This is somewhat last minute and I won't have internet for much of the time leading up to the weekend other than a few days immediately prior ...I also don't know where I will be but it is either Rio or San Paulo.

Any help from folks on the ground there would be appreciated.

I'm going to be working remotely in Macae for 1-2 months and bringing my bike. I'm looking for recommendations for places to ride nearby. I am planning to stay 3 or 4 days in Belo Horizonte and i'm looking for trail recommendations. My portuguese is poor, but my spanish is good (last time I was there, the spanish didn't help at all lol)

 

[Balduccimoto]

Just an FYI for anyone that goes to rio de janeiro.

There are some downhill places in macae, Trilha do Paiol and another that I didn't go. If you find yourself in Macae then go visit Bike Style Cafe for some acai and bike stuff.
Rio das Ostras theres a DH trail on google maps. I didn't go but it looks good.
Lots of places in Belo Horizonte.
Vale das Vidieras there is some trails in the town and a nice bike shop/cafe.
Sanandu Park in nova friburgo is good. The owner speaks a lot of english.
Montanha Azul in Petropolis, RJ also the owner speaks some english.
There are some trails in the city of Rio de Janeiro but I was told it's dangerous because its near a favela. The places listed above are all safe.
