Hilly ride but overall easier than yesterday.

Started off at this store to get a few breakfast items. Climbing started very quickly after that. Grades were rarely steeper than 6% but there wasn’t much flat terrain today. Only 65km of riding with 1225m of climb.

Good example of the road ahead.

At 21km the village of Petialcingo was down and to the left. I came past several such villages today.

Good example of the landscapes and plants along the way.

These Canadian cyclists from Montreal started in Mexico City and were headed to the Yucatan Peninsula.

I’ve seen more goats here. These were clearly trained to come investigate when someone stopped by their fence. By end of my rest break, I had an entire herd interested in watching me.

No hunting.

At 48km, I entered into Oaxcaca. A few more climbs after this, but the majority was definitely done. Stopped 3km later at small village for a snack.

Good descent into Huajuapan and then surprisingly crowded little streets. Found a good hotel and carried the bike up to the third floor. Plotting out my remaining rides to Oaxaca (the city). Most likely make it three easier days since Spanish class doesn’t start until Monday.
