Wall of Famers for the past 20 years of touring (2003-2023)
Let it be known that the Alliance of Mountain Trekkers and Adventurers (AMTA) hereby give its ultimate accolade to all the names here below.
The ordeal of the dreaded Insane Tour, of mud, sweat, and tears, the suffering, then emerging victorious despite of those have earned them a special status.
They now become members of the fellowship of Tourmasters whose achievements will be written in the history and tradition of AMTA.
Their fearless spirits will be etched in the hearts and minds, and will always be remembered, honored and respected.
Congratulations to Ramonito "Amon" Espinosa for setting a new benchmark at the Insane Tour 2023!
At 44 years old in 2023, Amon was the champion, crossing the finish line at 8:14 PM with an impressive time of 16 hours and 4 minutes—beating his record from 2022 by almost an hour!
True to the Insane Tour tradition, he completed the challenge on a mountain bike.
On a side note, he was also the champion in 2007.
Who will be able to beat his impressive record next year?
Your dedication and skill continue to inspire us all!

The Unstoppable Journey:
Pio Hannibal Delima's 2016 Tour Triumph
"At just 16 years old 😂, I became the youngest ever to complete this grueling tour. It was a true test of mind over matter. We faced relentless weather—rain, heat, and more rain—while riding non-stop from night to morning, then from noon to evening, and back to night again. It was the most exhausting event I’ve ever experienced.
But the glory made it all worth it. Sharing this moment with my dad, as we rode together on the same team and chased down the lead pack through four municipalities, was incredible. The effort was immense, but the sense of accomplishment was even greater."
— Pio Hannibal Delima, Insane Tour 2016 Champion (MTB), completed the tour in 26 hours.
2015 Champion Story:
Efren Librea’s 30-Hour Insane Tour Feat
"I became the champion of the Insane Tour in 2015 at the age of 45. It took me 30 hours.
I started biking to work in 2005. Then I met Clovis and Bal, and that's how I joined AMTA. I joined AMTA’s first Insane Tour in 2013, but I almost didn’t survive it because of the extreme fatigue and drowsiness. That was my experience in my first Insane Tour. "
— Efren Librea, Insane Tour 2015 Champion (MTB), completed the tour in 30 hours.
