Outing – 2012-10-15 Ride (aka Self Medicating)

by  •  • 2 Comments

So Larry and I (Deron) had the pleasure of introducing a new gringo to Oaxaca to the pleasure of mountain biking here. Steve (and his lovely family) hail from the USA (state of Montana) and like many from that state, enjoy spending time in the great outdoors…wherever they may be.

Larry and I thought the “Doctor’s Orders” ride would be a good introduction for a physically-fit, (road) cycling guy like Steve. Since it has been over half a year since I’ve done this nice, rolling cross-country loop, we ended up doing a little different than when we were introduced to it by Dr. Z (due to a bit of confusion of where the hell we were supposed to turn at some junctions). Steve had no problem keeping up with us so the only person I can blame for us not having enough time to include Trail CNP (Calle a Ninguna Parte (Road to Nowhere)) is me. 🙂

Here’s a map of today’s outing (yellow) including the track from the original Doctor’s Orders ride back in 2011-12-21 (magenta).

Note that the elevation plot and distance value above are for BOTH outings.  Today’s  distance was 26.7km.  For hands-on fun with the GPS data, download the KML file (using the link next to the elevation plot above) or the raw GPX data, here.

Microbrews in Oaxaca de Juarez

by  •  • 2 Comments

I’m starting a new thread here to collect and share info on where a good soul can get a tasty beer.  If you know of other locations that sell or serve cerveza artisanal, please add a comment or post to the public map (i.e. GoogleMap “Microbrews in Oaxaca”: http://goo.gl/maps/e1ebF  ).

 

I also welcome any info on particular Mexican microbrews, even if you don’t know of a reseller in Oaxaca.
