Read a description and view photos of a marathon bike race run on Sunday, 24 November 2013 from Oaxaca city to the ecotourism camp at La Cumbre. The 16 mile (25.7 km) course utilized a combination of paved highway, dirt roads and some high-country singletrack in the forest and made riders climb a grueling 4513 feet (1376 meters) along the way – not to mention finishing the race on some very muddy logging roads!
