Eight people showed up for the ride today which took the group on a moderate 43 kilometer (26.2 mile) traverse through the countryside linking Oaxaca with Tlalixtac, Santo Domingo Tomaltepec and Tule. The weather could not have been nicer, with a pleasant temperature and blue skies overhead. We encountered quite a few other cyclists similarly enjoying a Sunday morning outing.
The two presas above Tomaltepec were brim full after recent heavy rains. This is the first time in several years water flowed over the spillway. A family fishing from the dam. Zowee! The water is deeper than it looks!
