"Jamaica Biking"

"I have spent many vacations in Jamaica. I love it because it is a large island, offers different climates and is ethnically diverse....I was overwhelmed by the unspoiled beauty of the rainforest as we cruised through small, remote, unspoiled villages, past the Blue Mountain coffee fields, and down to a beautiful outdoor restaurant where we were served a Cajun lunch....This is an all-day, inexpensive and unforgettable trip..."

"It's all Downhill"
by Brenda Fine

"There's more to a Jamaican vacation than just sun and surf. There's even more than reggae and waterfall climbing. Would you believe mountain biking?.....they created Blue Mountain Biking, a downhill, day-trip that is varied as it is exhilarating. Early in the morning, tourists are picked up at their hotels and driven in air-conditioned coaster buses up Hardware Gap mountain, stopping midway for a hearty Jamaican breakfast of banana fritters, beignets, fresh fruits, and -of course- Blue Mountain coffee......Lunch is in the company's open-air chalet, where thirsty bikers scarf down frosty Red Stripe beers, fresh fruit juice and a Cajun-Jamaican-style jambalaya. After lunch the group continues its downhill cruise to a refreshing mountain treat: a secluded 30-foot waterfall for a much-needed swim..."

"On a Roll. Biking down Jamaica's Blue Mountains"
by Ginny Turner

"The hills are alive with wild ginger, tumbling waterfalls, and doctor birds. And I am sailing downhill on a hot-pink bicycle past coffee bushes and tall plumes of bamboo.....The air is cool, compared to the beach I left this morning, and the views are of long downward stretches of rolling hillside covered in rampant greenery. Mist wafts around the tops of bluish-green peaks on the other side of the valley. Rivulets of water from the previous night's rain run across the roadway. For a moment, the road curves both before and behind me, and I can't see any other riders. I am alone with the sound of my hissing tires, and I feel as if I own the whole mountain...This is made possible by Blue Mountain Tours Ltd. The staff transports you, feeds you, teaches you a little, and helps you experience Jamaica differently. .....When we got to the chalet on the way down, we stopped again, this time for jambalaya and ice-cold Jamaican beer. Thus stoked, we continued riding though it was easy to stop and take pictures at any time. And the scenery obliged. A 100-foot waterfall tumbled into a culvert under the road. I marveled at the big clumps of impatiens and coleus growing wild and wondered about the families living in the scattered farmhouses. Coffee bushes were plentiful...Children were happy to see us, waving or coming into the road to try to slap hands with us...Around 3:30 p.m., after a total riding time of about two-and-a-half hours, we arrived at a wide waterfall plunging into a broad pool....Our driver had the bus waiting there and offered us cups of rum punch. Though not strenuous, the day was long and exhilarating, and we climbed aboard wanting quiet and relaxation. The driver turned down the reggae music, and left us with our thoughts on the drive back."

"Travel Clips"
"Jamaica - The newest way to experience the beauty of the island's Blue Mountains is on a downhill (i.e. 95% no-pedaling) cycling tour. Blue Mountain Tours Ltd. picks up travelers in Port Antonio, Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Kingston shuttles them to a cool misty starting point high in the mountains and leads them down through incredible scenery with stops for snacks, photo ops, lunch and waterfall swimming..."
