Freshly Pressed

For the past two years, a team of us has worked with an organic coffee growers association in the volcanic hills around Turrialba, Costa Rica (home to this year’s stage 2 end/stage 3 beginning of La Ruta de los Conquistadores) in improving the organizational and business capacity of the group, resulting in a new organizational structure and business plan.

When I had down time, I borrowed a colleague’s dated mtb to unwind a little.  In Issue 7 of Switchback (a breath of fresh air mtb magazine that came out a year ago), I tell the story of Turri coffee and mtb, highlighting the climb up to the cone zone of the Turrialba Volcano.  Now on Barnes and Nobles newsstands, and available digitally online, check it out!
