You could hear the sounds of cyclists everywhere: The whir of tires against pavement. The clanking of gears and chains. The measured breathing of countless Colombians working their way across this sprawling capital more than 8,600 feet up in the Andes Mountains. My breathing? Not so measured. I’d arrived in Bogotá a day earlier and was still acclimating to the thin air as I joined hundreds of others pedaling down El Dorado Avenue.

The Idyllwild Area Historical Society’s annual home tour returns on September 16, including stops at a 2-story log cabin built in 1910 and a 1930s fishing cabin.
