San Sebastian is high up in the mountains, this may seem like a trivial fact to most..not to us. When we started riding in the morning, we were not high up in the mountains..This results in a simple equation...47km of nearly completely up hill riding..steep stuff too and most of it in the dirt. It was so nice to finish today, i mean the scenery on the way was spectacularly beautiful however there wasnt much talking and it was hot, we just had to put our heads d...

So we got picked up pretty early from our hotel in Oaxaca by Roberto and Roberto..nice and easy. Roberto is the driver and Roberto is the nephew of national cycling champion Pedro Martinez (who we later found out was not actually an olympian as even though he was part of the team to go to Seol, he hadnt dont his military service, so couldnt get a passport..). We drove for a while just to get out of town and then jumped on our pushys.. Pretty flat day, not too man...

We have a car coming with us to carry our bags and a spare bike etc, everything...

We tried a cooking class on Saturday morning with a guy named Oscar, he took us around the markts to get all our ingredients and then we cooked and then we ate, all pretty ta...

Apparently Puebla is Mexicos 2nd largest city. We caught a bus from Mexico city after heading out to the bus station on their metro system which took about 1/2 an hour and was super easy. Buses leave every 15 minutes and takes about 2 hours. Got to watch the movie Pacific Rim in dubbed spanish. Once in Puebla we caught a cab to the hotel, cabs in these situations are prepaid, you to the booth tell them where you want to go and the give you a ticket. Then you giv...
