The San Jose Iturbide Loop

This ride is a loop, starting and ending in the quaint little town of San Jose Iturbide.  There’s a little bit of everything on this ride.  We start and end on mostly flat, well-maintained roads, before getting into a thrilling descent which passes through the migratory path of the monarch butterfly.  From there, we pass through some small towns before diving even further down in elevation into a valley bordered by scenic, jagged hills.  We’ll stop around the 85km mark, at a small roadside taco stand, where facilities are provided, and a small convenience store and bakery are also located.  From there, we climb a twisty road with break taking views of the mountain range, before the final 20km flat road to San Jose Iturbide.
