It is late April in Oaxaca and another perfect day in paradise. Our Sunday ride this week took us from el centro up the hill to San Felipe del Agua, then over the Libramiento Norte to Viguera and on into San Pablo Etla. After a light lunch at a local comedor we rode on to Santa Cruz Etla and then back into Oaxaca along the old railroad right-of-way. This was a moderate ride overall, with just a bit of technical challenge on the rough and tumble singletrack trail we used to get from the top of the Libramiento down into Viguera. The outing covered 25.1 miles (40.1 kms) and entailed climbing about 1920 vertical feet (588 meters). The high point on the ride was an elevation of 6210 feet (1893 meters). Counting time for lunch, the day’s excursion took just a hair more than five hours.
