Nicaragua Mountain Biking
Nicaragua has a stellar advocacy network and world-class trails. Whether it be the other-worldly volcano trails across the country,
the coffee/pineapple plantation routes that ring Managua, the Alps-esque mountain rides near Esteli or the singletracks that hug the
Pacifica Coast with jaw dropping views, Nicaragua offers a plethora of fat tire destinations. Perhaps most impressive are the trail
systems near Managua urban areas which include hundreds of miles of shared-use trails and even a "competitive track," designed for higher
speed non-motorized trail use. All this success is a result of strong local chargers whose work has made Nicaragua a Fantasy Island for
mountain bikers. But if you are looking to see a lot of riders on the trails....they aren’t here yet.
Century 21 Gold Coast Realty has its own team made up of Nicaraguans, Columbians, Europeans and broker/owner Barry Oliver. The team
races in both Nicaragua and Costa Rica and often on it’s home course, El Laurel, in Managua that allows for night racing on a 5 km loop
thanks to all the help from team rider, Billy Molina. Team training rides leave daily at 5:15am from Managua. On our blog we have
mapped out many of the routes that start and finish at one of our 3 offices with helmet cam videos for each route provided by Barry
who can also show you the best property that provides easy access to any of these trails. Barry knows the coastal trails better than
anyone and has won races in both Rivas and Liberia, CR.
