About riding in Mexico
Mexico's cycling ranges from high-altitude routes in the central highlands to warm coastal roads and desert. Altitude, heat and traffic on some roads are the main things to plan for, and the rainy season affects many regions in summer.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 76 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 7h 38m |
| 12 mph | 6h 22m |
| 14 mph | 5h 27m |
| 16 mph | 4h 46m |
| 18 mph | 4h 15m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
