If you long to dip your toes in the Pacific Ocean—or maybe you enjoy surfing as much as you love riding your bike—then this classic Mexican mountains-to-sea route is sure to appeal. Taking you from the heart of Oaxaca city to the state's craggy coastline, it promises a long weekend of fine riding, camping, and dining. For those with more time to spend in the area, we've included a recommended route extension via the Mitla valley, which adds in a cultural component to the ride, and a more appealing exit from the city.
