Augusto Rey

Age: 41

Cap number: 22

Location: Lima, Peru

Bike: I ride a size 54 Specialized Crux, rigid frame. For a route like this, I use a 12-speed setup with a 38T chainring and a 10-52 cassette, all SRAM electronic. I’m also running the new 45mm tubeless Pathfinder tires, just released by Specialized.

Key items of kit: On the frame I use a Specialized frame bag, along with their smaller top tube bag. In the back, I carry a 6L Choike SEATBAG LEAF, a Chilean brand. I complement that setup with a CamelBak M.U.L.E.
