This is an unusually challenging route for the Sunday morning bike group. While the total distance of 28.2 miles traveled is rather typical, the numerous steep hill climbs on loose and rocky roads, with some sketchy single track on top of that, gives this outing a difficulty rating of 3 or 4 out of 5. The weather was ideal and the scenery quite nice, with a stop at the ruins of an old monastery in Cacaotepec as an added bonus. The map shown below is incomplete, as the battery on my GPS unit gave out well before the end of our journey. Extrapolating from the data that was recorded, the round trip distance should amount to 28.2 miles (45.4 kms), with an elevation gain and loss of around 1300 feet (396 meters). There were four newcomers to the group today, a welcome addition which brought the total number of participants to fifteen. The lunch stop at the market in Cacaotepec was particularly festive, with lots of beer and mezcal consumed. A good time was had by all.
