This moderate 27.5 mile (44.26 kilometer) loop takes riders around the western side of the city, going from el centro, climbing through San Felipe del Agua, up and over the Libramiento Norte to Viguera. From there the route winds through Atzompa, Audelo, Arrazola and Xoxocotlan back to the city center. Most of the heavy climbing is in the first 7 miles (11.3 kms), with 1083 feet (330 meters) elevation gain to the top of the ridge. From there on it’s just moderate ups and downs pedaling through the countryside. Expect to accomplish the loop in about four hours unless you stop for a snack along the way home.
