Moutain Biking - Sierra Norte - Day 3 - Vamos


The 3rd day was the shortest and mostly downhill. We basically biked back to the city of Oaxaca. We first climbed up on a mountain ridge close to 3000 meters in elevation and then descended down to Oaxaca, which is at 1800 meter, mostly on single track and dirt roads. The single-track is one of the most amazing ones I have ever experienced. The trail twists and turns on a narrow mountain ridge while you look out on the jungle and valley below. Just amazing. Apparently, local downhill bikers use the same trail for training and I must say that some portions where pretty tricky on a hard-tail. The day was just an all around fun experience even if we only spent 4h biking which by now felt like a day in the park.
