January 29 :: Tomatlan, Mexico

January 29 :: Tomatlan, Mexico :: 129 km / 2684km total

Yet another hot, hard, grind of a ride, but I love it! Today started with a 5km climb that had sweat dripping off my face before sunrise. The hills moderated for a bit after that, and I was able to push out some fast k's, aggressively riding down on the aerobars, getting as far as I could before the Sun started to make a real difference. Onwards up the dry Highway 200 that barely sees the coastline... a hot, dusty, sem-arid ride. I was hoping for a hotel at La Cumbre (after 116km), but no luck. I turned inland to the larger, almost-tourist-town of Tomatlan for the night.

Its about 100km from here to Puerto Vallarta!
